Can't Change Radar Settings

I'm pressing the radar range in and out but nothing is happening on the radar just this static screen (radar is powered on). Is there something else you need to do to get the radar to change distance?

Unless you've deliberately narrowed your radar cone, that looks like you have the Weapons System CMD FWD active, you have to release that with Weapons System CMD AFT before you can change the range again.

I'm not updating this anymore. It's safe to assume I have all the stuff, and the stuff for the stuff too. 🙂

Looks like BAH mode in the screenshot, which is one of the close quarters, horizontal auto-acquisition modes that locks range to within 10 NM.

What you want is to return to Bar Search mode -- the one where you can change your range and play hunt the pixels with your cursor. You can always get back to this mode by using "Weapon SystemCMD Depress". If you use AFT it might work if you have an air-to-ground weapon selected (it cycles your nav preselect and ranging mode select on your PCA panel, but also puts you back into Bar Search). But if you have an air-to-air weapon selected AFT just cycles between BAH/BA2.

I am experiencing this recently quite often. Even after hot start on 4YA servers my radar is stuck at 10nm and the cursor is flashing. After pressing Radar Rearm button it starts working again.

This means you are in some close combat mode, press the Weapon SystemCMD Depress HOTAS command and it will return the radar to bar search.
