Ghost contact on F18 Radar / Track not showing the bug / track different from the real flight


Recommended Posts

Hello ,

Today in a mission i had the bug where F18 Radar, when undesignate a target, goes crazy and start to show a ghost target that goes underwater impossible to undesignate unless you hit the reset button on MFD, i said to myself ok let's save the track, after watching the track i noticed that the bug doesn't show up plus my plane does things differently from the real flight, i have the Tackview record that shows the discrepancy from the track, but i have no way to prove the "ghost radar contact".

In the first engage after firing the first two targets you will see me shooting 2 missile to a non existing plane, while in the tackview track the plane is there. This is the only proof i have that something is not working right.

Track is too big, you can find it here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BSsM-tLZk2Hg1JA1putPyJd6Wd2UIQ2J?usp=sharing

In tackview/track the event is at time +18:04   It looks like my computer and the track itself are out of sync....so weired.

I've seen this bug number of times already. After shooting down multiple bandits, I can still see a radar track (soft lock) or an AACQ cross, usually 5, 6nm away from me, at 0 alt. and running at -400 kts. closure. The target box on my HMD was pointing directly below me though and traveling at the same speed as I was. I wasn't able to get a STT lock on it.  I will try to get a short track showing this.  All I have is a vid for now. I'm sure there are other folks that have seen this bug.

 

Exactly. Problem is track doesn't show it. I can add that on the SA page the contact goes to negative altitude forever, turning off the datalink won't solve.
