reported earlier FCR on static items

[H60MTI]

I get the FCR, have that pinging away but I'm not picking up any targets. This mission does have them a static target versus a placed vehicle, Syria weapons range mission. All I did was add radar Hellfires and an FCR to the bird. The mission has the range preset with static targets. Do I need to chance them to an actual vehicle for the FCR to pick them up?

Please add track so they can check where is the problem

I have no idea what a track is or how to do that.

When you Finnish a mission you will see a save track option in the bottom on the side of watch track 

[H60MTI]

Ahhh...And what does a track do? Just curious.

It allows us to watch your flight and the behaviour and makes it possible for us to recreate what you see with all the needed informations that usually get forgotten in a forum bug report post.

I see this on our multi-player server where the FCR does not see any static targets even when they are in clear LOS. Last night I ran a test on a stand alone mission placing ground units behind trees and static units in clear LOS. I did this to see if the foliage had any effect. The FCR spotted all the ground units behind the trees, however it did spot a couple of the static units, 2 out of the 5.  Not sure why on that mission it saw (only a few) but on multi-player sees none.

The FCR is most definitely NOT the eye of Sauron we perhaps thought it might be! Non moving targets need to be within 6km and even then, no guarantee they will all be picked up, or picked up at all. I have no idea how realistic this is or what circumstances apart from range, limit the effectivness of the FCR

I tried the FCR on the Nevada Moving Target Range instant action mission, it didn’t seem to pick up anything except a friendly vehicle.

it doesnt distinguish between friendlies or enemy aircraft. it just see the lump of metal. even if its dead.

Right but that was the only thing it saw. It didn’t see all the enemy armor on the range. Seems to work on other missions though.

gotcha, how far away were stationary targets vs moving targets, the most common misunderstanding Ive seen is that people are convinced the stationary targets can be seen past 6km
