reported FCR - ACQ Cursor scan elevation wrong?

[Furiz]

When radar antenna is pointed down, and move ACQ Cursor forward from the middle towards top of the MFD my scan elevation on the ACQ Cursor decreases, shouldn't it be increasing?

And when you move ACQ Cursor to the bottom of the MFD the elevation increases.

Hi @Furiz

We will analyse this internally. Thanks for bringing it up.

I don't know if this occured when VSR was introduced to the F -16 or what but now whenever I am trying to use air to air radar in TWS or RWS modes the altitude of the scan beam is WAY too low. I can be flying at 6000 feet. HAve radar pointing straight out and the top number will say -26 and -72. Obviously in this flight configuration there should be a positive number up top with a much smaller negative number below. 

I have attached a picture of the bug.  I have even reinstalled the entire 240GB of this sim to see if that helped.  I am a veteran of how to work the F-16 Air to Air radar in RWS and TWS mode.

You really want to post a track of this.  This is a big enough issue that if it was widespread it would be all over the forums.

Hi @PlaceboC6

We are already aware of this bug. It's reported internally and will be addressed in the future.

I am requesting a merge of this report with the original one.

Thanks.

I know you guys are aware of this bug according to Lord Vader.  But the F-16 has been unusable for me since what I believe was the Aug 2 patch when the VRS support was added.   I cannot get a positive elevation reading on my elevation slew to save my life. 

Any updates??

What do you have bound for your antenna elevation control?

[BIGNEWY]

please add a track replay example we are unable to reproduce. 

Check your bindings for elevation. 

thanks

I'd like to see it fixed too.

Ok here is my TRK file.  In the file you can see I am in free flight.  Pointed straight.  I click through the elevation controls, move the slew all over the place, and the only way I get a positive number on the slew is when I scroll all the way to the bottom.   When I scroll up the numbers become an even higher negative value.  I even signed up for open beta updates in Steam hoping I could catch a fix early but it's been 3 weeks I guess at this point since I've been able to use the F-16.

Like I said I had reinstalled it from scratch once already.  Tried open beta.  Nothing is fixing the problem.  When you ask about the elevation bindings I assume you are taking about the buttons I'm pressing on the MFS in the beginning of the video which is how I've always done so.   I have a 4 position switch on my X-52 controller to control the slew.  I'm doing everything just like I have been the whole time I've flown this plane and then right after the 8/2/2023 patch (it's the only thing I can correlate it to ) my radar goes wonky.

Yes it's frustrating knowing there are at least two of us with the problem and probably many more who wouldn't come to this forum to report it.

I doesn't work that way, it takes time to fix bugs, they don't get fixed as soon as they are reported, sometimes its months. You can still use F-16 tho, just work your was around those numbers for now.
