Su-27/33 and MiG-29 Radar Settings Keep Resetting

[Cmptohocah]

IRL Flanker and Fulcrum,

have a rotating selector for radar antenna elevation with discrete positions and a rotating drum on the throttle for expected target distance, yet in DCS every time the radar is switched off these settings get reset to their default values - 0 elevation and 10km distance, respectfully.

Since Soviet RWRs don't really show type of threat it is polite to switch off your radar when going defensive, so your team mates don't freak out as they suddenly see a full SPO in front of their nose. Unfortunately all your previous radar settings are gone now


Could we please fix this, so that it does not happen any more?

Radar Elevation knob for the Fulcrum:

That would be really really nice to have implemented.

Yeah that would be good to have it... I did list it few years ago in my list:

As you see, some of the stuff did get fixed... but I think this is one a bit more major, so I am not sure how much ED is willing to spend time on FC3.

Doesn't sound like it should require some major change.

E.g. two variables used to track these need to be defined outside of the radar function so they don't get re-initialized every time that function is invoked.
