Radar elevation in altitude difference bugged / doesnt work as supposed.

[MysteriousHonza]

Hello. It seems that radar elevation in altitude mode is bugged/doesnt work or simply instead of 1000 feet increments, it jumps by 10 000 feet increments. 
Ive setted up a test
Mirage F1 at 10 000 feet and bunch of B52s at altitude of 25 000 approx 35nm away so i could use TDC all the time. 
Dialed in +15 as for + 15 000 feets and.... nothing. 
Dialed back to +1 and i had them on, even at like 5nm with +1 or +2, i still had them on scope, which should be wrong and i should have had +15 to see them for the whole duration. It seems like in altitude mode, instead of 1000 increment, its miswritten to 10 000, which is absolutely unusable. 
For the whole time on the pics below, i had either +1 or +2 as for + 1000 or 2000. Bombers were approx 15000 feets above me.

You have explained exactly how it was implemented in real aircraft. I was getting crazy trying to look for targets in radar in all my missions flown.......

I think they accidentally coded one more zero to the 1000 increments. Otherwise i dont know how else it should work.

any update?

Just tested with the new 2.8 patch in case they had silently fixed it but it's still bugged. Targets that were 20k feet above me could be seen with +2 instead of +20 on the radar.
