reported Tons of ghost contacts on Radar

[_SteelFalcon_]

it detects ground units now, most notably outside of 40nm but in some cases also closer for some reason.
and yeah, you can shoot amraams at them

Hi all.

After 2.9 update, I started "free flight" mission in Caucassus with the f16.

FCR seems to show (and lock) the smoke and fire columns that are on the ground. They're some SU25 comming hot in this mission, and using tws locks intro the smoke instead the Su's.

I suspect It will also be the same with the f18, It seems to be a new radar/datalink bug.

Thanks team.

After the update the Air to Air radar also shows ground targets for a few seconds.

 

I'm providing you also a trk file with a test in Caucasus though the issue is in all maps.

I'm noticing it too. In A2A the radar seems to be picking  up ground unit returns. I have been able to lock them up and confirm this on TGP for the F-16.

Can confirm. In A2A mode radar seems to be picking up ground unit returns. I have been able to lock up the return and confirm it with TGP on the F-16.

Thank you all. I have reported this internally.

Hello! 

On my last flight I got a ton of ghost returns on the A-A radar.

There where around 3 aircraft in front of me, but the radar showed what you can see on the screenshot. 

I think these could be ground units... I have to test further and save a track, but I wanted to report it to see if others are experiencing this? 

[BIGNEWY]

we are going to need a track replay to reproduce this, please attach one if possible 

but it could be related to some ground targets being picked up that is reported

thank you

[Rhinozherous]

I will save a track in the next days!

Its the return of ground units. Best to be seen when putting the TGP in A-A mode, then lock one of those contacts with the A-A radar. Youll see in the pod what you locked.

Defiantly ground returns If you lock on to the targets they have a speed of zero.

They are indeed ground units. We had some guys in our community perform DEAD on an entire SA-2 battery with AIM-120's using A-A radar. Great success!
