map issue and not a f-18 issue Varying A/G Radar quality depending on game map

[norman99]

I'm not sure if the is a "feature", a bug, a map issue, or even limited to just the Hornet, so I'll post it here.

I'm noticing vastly different images when using the ground radar, especially EXP3, depending on which map my mission takes place.

In short:

• The Caucuses map displays what I expect, a rather sharp image, with easily distinguishable features, such as runway/taxiway/ramps (no roads), buildings etc. 
• The Persian Gulf displays very sharp ground features, runways, taxiways, (no roads) etc, but absolutely no buildings or other physical features.
• The Marianas shows buildings and other items, but the ground features such as runways, taxiways (again, no roads) are very soft/blurry, and nowhere near the same definition as the other two maps.

Has anyone else noticed this? Do we know what the cause is? I have added pictures below to illustrate. All images taken at 20K, ~18nm & ~45-50° off the nose. (F10 map included for comparison.)

Yeah I recently noticed the same issue with SoH map.

Different maps of different age and quality made by different creators. To be expected.
