[Resolved] Inconsistent STT behavior

[UWBuRn]

I'm experiencing some strange (incosistent to my understanding) STT behavior when performing crank turns:

• I lock on the target, no matter the mode, i have seen this happening from TWS, RWS and PAL
• Usually i fire a missile (no matter if AIM-7 or AIM-54)
• I crank left or right, keeping the target near radar gimbal limit
• After some time, the target track is marked as "trashed" on the TDI (X over it) while lock is still mantained; this is already strange, as i think the X should only appear on TWS target, makes little sense to me in STT
• After some more time, another track appears on the line showing the antenna position; the old "ghost" track is still there and highlighted, the new one stays on the line
• As the time passes the offset between the two tracks increases, with the original one still there
• Sometime even the second track is x'd out and a third one appears
• This happen more the more aggressively you crank, staying nose on target doesn't let this happen

All together, this behavior doesn't makes sense to me, STT should always display a single track. I tried to check some NATOPS for clues, but probably i don't have the one describing PDSTT behavior.

This is confirmed by others as well, see:

 

Attached there's a track with that happening twice on a single target.

Here's some video, in case the track is not 100% accurate:

Any chance of at least having this confirmed by HB?

Thank you for the report!

Tracked internally for the team to investigate.

Just in case anyone step on this in the future, the issue has been fixed in 2.9.9.2280 update.

Thanks!

Confirmed in both TWS and PD-STT, the track is now much more stable when banking away from the target, while before it used to be close to 90% chance of loss if you so much moved few degrees to a side.

Help me, please. Playing in place of RIO. TWS-auto mode. I select and assign the nearest target. I take the pilot's seat to raise the nose of the airplane and launch. The RIO at this time resets its grip on the selected target. Changes the width and range of the radar scanning area to maximum. Switches to RWS mode. Loses the target. Then switches back to TWS-auto mode. Takes a long time to select and assign the same target. At this point, I'm already being hit by an enemy missile. I should just run away. How can I stop RIO from changing my target selection and radar settings? Thank you.

switch off Jester,

maybe second solution, tell him explicitly to use TWS auto before you switch seats
