Bug: F-15E radar is unable to reliably track in TWS modes while in Active Pause

 

Can I reproduce it 100%: 100%

 

How to reproduce/description:

 

Step 1: Fly against any aircraft in the F-15E

Step 2: Enter Active Pause

Step 3: Enter a TWS mode (HDT, 2TWS, 4TWS, etc.)

Step 4: Designate a target.

 

Result: The radar will attempt to maintain track but will lose track somehow (refer to video for reference).

 

DCS Version: Open Beta 2.8.6.41363 (Multithreading)

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

Yes. This is unlikely to be fixed soon.

The problem is TWS does kalman filtering & track correlation. It assumes by essence that time is flowing. What I suspect is that the kalman filter gets flushed by continuous estimations at still time values so is unable to establish a proper track. Also, it sees a closure rate but the range remains constant. We don't rely at all on any object ID for tracking & correlation, to make it as realistic as possible in behavior.

It would be significantly more complex to have this approach work in active pause.
