Radar Tricks?

[LiquidGER]

Hey guys, 

I'm coming at you with a question regarding the radar in the M2000c
So I recently bought the M2K and I'm more than happy with the tutorials and how well made they are!
Everything is explained well and so far I had no issues following along.

However, the Radar does seem a bit weird to me.
I played the Radar-Tutorial a couple of times now because I thought I miss something but apparently I didn't.

The issue is the following:  I just seem to lose contacts from the radar.
I know the target is straight ahead, I know the altitude (+ I'm co-alt with the target) - I can even visually see the target but the radar just won't pick it up.

And if it does, the target fades so quickly that It's impossible for me to be fast enough to lock it.
I feel like I can pick up every target once.. and after that it's gone, very weird.

I'm used to constant radar tuning from other modules (primarily the F-16C over the past 5 Weeks) so I don't think it's a lack of understanding.. although for the moment I will just assume that the problem is in front of the computer
Maybe you guys have a trick for me

Have you tried reducing the radar travel?  You can adjust how wide a beam your radar goes through, there's a switch on the left side, near the B scope switch, that allows you to narrow your search cone to narrower sweeps, that will get more returns more often (but covers a smaller arc), and should provide a better lock. You can also confirm that your radar antenna is pointed at the right elevation, and after that, I'd probably check to see if you're using the high freq, low, or both. Past that, I think there's also a switch to adjust wingspan size of targets, that should be set to small if I recall correctly.

What's the type, range, and altitude, speed and angle of your bogey when you tried this? Is it possible you're just experimenting with a veteran AI, and it's notching you?

I think also, if you see a big yellow "B" on your radar,, or a "BROU" in your HUD, that would mean you're being jammed, and that would explain your issue too. As well, if you've turned on your own jammer to the override mode, that also knocks out your own radar intermittently as well.

 

That's all I can think of, hope something there helps!

Would be cool if ypu post a track and/or tacview file.

Maybe the bandit is flanking or trying to notch you.
