When I flip up the radar lock switch my radar goes from this:

And nothing happens...anyone know whats up? I'm following the grim reaper guide

 

UPDATE: looks like I got a lock but the radar still looks weird and there's no symbology around the plane. what the heck??

...I'm going to go out on a limb and say we've probably isolated the problem already.

You've achieved a lock in the third image, but you've also switched your radar scope into low altitude mode, which turns off the search antenna and leaves only the tracking antenna active. It also means you won't see the tracking symbology on the AR-18 sight glass (I don't remember if you should or not in low alt mode - either way, ingame, you don't).

Leave this switch alone unless you're at low altitude (~4km, clutter beginning to fill search radar scope). Note that the switch positions are currently the opposite of what the manual (and, presumably, the GR guide you followed) states - it's a known issue and will hopefully be sorted soon.

so up is low altitude and down is high altitude?

It should be the other way around, AFAIK "2" is for two antennas, "1" is for one.

not sure if this is a bug or not really
