Radar Interference in MP

[Mistermann]

My group is slowly coming up to speed with the Mudhen.  Really appreciate getting our hands on this in EA.  One thing that's come up in my group is radar interference.  

So it's pretty cool that RB modelled this condition across jets in MP.  Here's what it looks like for those that haven't seen it.  The interference can vary in intensity across the entire screen making the radar return unusable.

Can someone explain how to "deconflict channels" as mentioned in the Top Tips thread from a few weeks ago?  Is there a way to deconflict in the current version of the Strike Eagle?  Looking at the manual, it appears that the Channel/Band select options for both the A2A and A2G radars are not included in this version of EA.

Thanks.

Was a last minute add. Use the channel bands.  Manual just hadn’t caught up yet

I think it works - I have tried changing channel and band, and then the interference stopped.

It's actually implemented. The manual is not up to date in this regard.

That's great news.  Anyone able to direct me to how this is corrected if the manual is incorrect?

From memory: On the A/A radar page on the left side of the upper row of OSB buttons, there is one that controls the radar channel. It should say something like channel 1A or so. You can push it to change the channel.

Okay, okay ... I think the manual is might correct, however.  The A2A Radar does indeed have this setting on OSB 19 and 20.

You can change this across channels A-E and Bands 1-8

The A2G radar, however, does NOT have this option.  The manual says that it is supposed to have these (posted in my OP) but not yet included.  I am not seeing them in sim.

So ... if I change the setting on the A2A radar, will it also change it for A2G?  Anyone know?  Might be a silly question since there's only one radar ...

Uhh, that's a good point. I haven't thought about A/G. Not sure how it works there

I thought I saw something under special, that allowed you to automatically randomize radar channels at startup...

[KlarSnow]

Radar channel on A/A radar also sets the radar channel for A/G, if you deconflict the A/A radar you have deconflicted the A/G as well…

The option is there but so far in cold starts on mp servers it hasn’t done anything always on A1
