Bug: Radar beam disappears when antenna elevation is raised,wrongly coupled to existence of returns(MT)

Hi,

there seems to be a bug in the radar system rendering .The visualized sweep on the scope seems to be wrongly coupled to the existence  of radar returns on the scope. I don't think this is correct.

If you manually move radar antenna far upwards , after a certain point (when no ground returns are painted anymore) the beam itself completely disappears too and stops sweeping.

Alternatively You can also leave the antenna elevation untouched and pull up the aircraft itself 90 degrees vertical pitch , same effect. Once the radar no longer paints any returns, the sweeping beam itself disappears.

Happens in A1 and A2 mode. I really dont think this is correct. Of course it's correct that there are no radar returns after a certain radar antenna elevation upwards, but I don't think the radar itself should stop sweeping/showing the beam , just because there are no returns at the moment.

I attached a small track from the caucasus instant action mission "airborne intercept" - but not sure how well viggen tracks play out. In the track I first showed the 90 degrees pull up version with antenna elevation untouched , thereafter I levelled off again and  then manually adjusted antenna upwards till the sweeping beam disappeared again . In case the track doesnt work correctly, please test the two above methods.

Kind regards

Hello @Snappy!

Thank you very much for your detailed report. I've tracked it internally as AJS37-348. The team will look into it when able.
