[OB 2.8.6.41363] [MT] F-15E radar detects non-existent jamming in SP mission when STTing while in Active Pause

[DSplayer]

Bug: F-15E radar detecting non-existent jamming on SP mission (even with aircraft without ECM equipped).

 

Can I reproduce it 100%: 100%

 

How to reproduce/description:

 

Step 1: Fly against any aircraft in the F-15E (this includes WW2-era propeller aircraft)

Step 2: Enter Active Pause

Step 3: Enter a Single Target Track while in Active Pause against the aircraft.

Result: The radar will enter HOJ against that target. Exiting STT will momentarily show the target as jamming with a HOJ strobe but will then revert to a normal track. However, a TWS/HDT cannot be maintained. This bug will be reported in a different topic.

I found this bug today too. I was trying to record a tutorial video for the radar, but all targets were jamming me, even an I-16. It made no sense, until I realized it was the active pause that was causing the jamming.

This still happens in OB 2.9.0.46801 btw. Also noticed that the track that I uploaded was either incorrect or got corrupted.

It's not detecting jamming per se, but it detects that a contact with a high closure rate keeps a constant range, which he interprets as RGPO/VGPO.

Interesting effect, though it will be very complex to make it work in active pause.
