Following WAGS Marker Tutorial and seeing differences..

This is a short track just do demonstrate 3 things I noticed right away when following the tutorial.

1. In the video he changes the azimuth while in DBS1 and 2. I cannot get this to happen. It will only change in NORM or EXP.

2. When set to 10 degree azimuth in his video, the sweep is quite fast. When I change to 10 degree the sweep is very slow. He is also able to slew while in that state but it is so low when I try that I have to move it a little and wait for a refresh to see where it moved.

3. Image is not nearly as clear on radar.

 

There are other discrepancies as well that I will provide in a track later.

1.)

DBS1-2 is already the "best" possible mode.
Depending on the set  range scale, the respective DBS has its fixed areas and dcs represents them quite accurately. 

therefore azimuth has no influence on DBS, which is correct

This is shown in DCS as follows:
DBS1 mode it is always One-fourth of the selected range. from 10 range scale you see a square of 2.5nm
20nm>5nm
40nm>10nm
DBS2 is from 1nm to max ~7nm, depending on selected scale.

It depends which mode you mean? there is already a report for EXP.

What do you mean exactly?

this is reported
Context : A-G Radar

is also possible in DCS, use the right Scale as well as good angles

Look:

you have to ensure you have a good angle to the area for a good DBS picture.

the "snap back" issue is known and reported

thank you

So if its correct, then his video has outdated information? Just wanting to make sure I am clear on that because I commented on his video yesterday and he stated he tried it again, and it worked as per his video. At 22 seconds in the video I attached, he is able to adjust azimuth at 10 in DBS2 and the scan is quite fast. I was unable to replicate.

Not trying to be difficult, just trying to determine if the info is outdated.

Followed the video step by step, including 30 degree offset so unless there were settings made not depicted in the video, my aircraft was in the same mode / state as his.

azimuth has no effect on DBS1-2, this used to work but has been fixed.

Ok so I did misunderstand you at first. He must be still using an older version since he tested it the day I commented on his video and said it behaved just like the video.

I will assume the speed of the scan changed as well since we have been unable to replicate the speed shown in his video.
