Snappy Posted October 29, 2024 Posted October 29, 2024 (edited) Hi, I found a bug in the radar display. As far as I understand the manual, with any of the 3 possible air to air modes selected on the the weapons selector ( LUFT/RR , AKAN JAKT and IR RB) , the radar scan elevation should be shown on top of the radar display. For AKAN JAKT AND IR RB , this work consistently. For LUFT/RR is doesnt. It seems to wrongly depend on the direction of the selection on the weapons selector: If you go from RB75/MARK/DYK into the LUFT/RR selection , the radar does not show the scan elevation in LUFT/RR mode. However in the opposite direction, if you go from AKAN JAKT to LUFT/RR on the weapons selector , the radar correctly displays scan elevation on top for LUFT/RR mode. I attached a short track , illustrating the issue, as well as the mission file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Separate , but related question: The current release manual 2.1. says the following about radar air to air mode (p.351) : The air-to-air mode is selected by setting the weapons selector to any of the air-to-air weapon positions: RB05 LUFT (RB05 A/A), AKAN JAKT (gunpods A/A), or IR-RB (IR missile) and then setting the radar mode to either A1 (PPI) or A2 (B-scope). The elevation of the radar is centered to +1.5° relative to the horizon and can be manually elevated using the radar elevation knob. In the air-to-air mode, the antenna elevation indicator is added to the top part of the radar scope indicating the elevation of the beam relative to the 1.5° center. It says that the radar scan elevation indicator is added the radar display upon selection of air-to-air modes. The first paragraph mentions air to air mode can be entered in A1 and A2. However DCS currently in A2 mode , you don't get the scan elevation indication on the radar display in any air-to-air mode at all. Only in A1 mode. Is this correct and the limitation to A1 mode is simply not mentioned in the manual (yet)? Or should the scan elevation also be shown in A2 mode and its another bug?
