RADAR heavily slows down the ability to fast forward time

[razo+r]

The RADAR of the Viggen heavily slows down the ability to fast forward time.

If I set the RADAR in NAV to A1 or A2 or in ANF in any mode, including A0, and fast forward the time to x2 or higher, DCS is freezing in a rythmic fashion, likely related to the RADARs search pattern.

There is no such issue with SEA/GM RADAR mode for the F-16 for example.

 

(Tried in the MT-Version only so far)

 

A picture for illustration: Set mode to NAV and A0, fast forward time to x2. Everything normal. Then turn the RADAR to, in this example, A1. You can clearly see at what point I've turned on the RADAR.

Personally a minor issue but perhaps something that can be taken a look at in the future?

Thanks for reporting, it's greatly appreciated! I've tracked it internally as AJS37-346 for the development team to look at when able

Just noticed this myself after finally updating to dcs v. 2.8 from 2.5.6 feeling slight panic that this "radar" performance bug was still an issue. Though performance is fine a 1x speed. Hope you'll find a solution at increased game speeds as well. cheers.
