missing track file radar looses STT lock when passing 10NM (particularly when using fox-1's)

[ChaosRifle]

When the player crosses 10nm from his bandit, the STT lock is lost 100% of the time, if an aim-7p is in flight towards target.

fly at target, launch at ~15nm, keep closing distance, at 10NM the lock will be dropped (yes, even when they are not evading and in the doppler radar notch)

drop of lock seems to be almost exactly 10nm every time (when the lock box becomes just outlines of the corners of a box), at which point fox-1's go stupid.

workaround: ACM boresight the enemy to recover the lock, if you are fast enough the missile will begin homing again.

system notes:
Multithreaded binary, HMD on, HMD blanking off, otherwise stock configuration of the jet from hotstart. Bug happens to cold-started jets too though.

Hi @ChaosRifle

Again, we will require a track file of what you are observing so we can analyse the events.
