need track replay FCR not displaying datalink target nor search targets

[RPY Variable]

FCR does not display datalink aircraft, it also doesn't display search targets (white dots). But if you press TMS UP (aiming the cursor via de FCR cursor mirror on HMS over a datalink target) and lock a target, it will bug a target and then show the appropriate symbiology and it will also STT. But if you are not lock at something, the radar just wont show anything.
 

 

Edit: the datalink must have been the IFF OUT button. But wouldn't explain the missing white dots.

You have the FCR filter set to FTR+, change it to ALL.

That seems to be the datalink targets missing. My fault. But still... it was not showing the search targets as well. I shot down two bandits by blind TMS up on a known location. Targets like 15 nm away. Even the AWACS was invisible to the FSR. And it was on a look-up attitude at 15 miles. Only visible by bugging him via TMS up on known location via HSD FSR cursor mirror.

I can replicate this behavior using any FCR filter instead "ALL", so you will be unable to see any radar contact (white bricks) when FTR+, TGTS, or NONE is selected.

Yeah this is clearly not how the real thing should work.

THe FTR+, TGTS and NONE filters should be filters for the datalink portion of the track only. The raw ownship radar contacts should be present ALL of the time. In no way should those filters actually filter out the radar returns.

you have public evidence of this? Please PM me

Ok, so I’ve been through my reference ( prob same one as you guys are using), and can’t specifically find a sentence that says ‘raw FCR targets are displayed whatever the declutter level’. I think that is just presumed, since it is just common sense. 

The ALL, FTR+, TGTS, NONE options are datalink display options…i.e datalink…. They should not remove ownship radar contacts…even if that track is correlated with a datalink track. The NONE option should just remove the datalink colour overlay for that track, leaving behind the raw search/system track. Currently a correlated search target will disappear completely with the wrong declutter which is…dangerous. It wouldn’t be designed this way.

There is actually a diagram that illustrates this, but admittedly doesn’t explicitly describe the behaviour. This is one of those examples where ED’s 20+ years of experience simulating this stuff should aid in interpreting the correct function.
