Bladigan Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 Could anyone tell me the meaning of this bars? I have been testing the radar in A/A mode and the screen was filled with this moving bars. Besides, Jester could not find a MiG-21 just in front of me until it was 5nm or something like that so the 21 shot me much before and destroyed me. I have read something related to this and the user said his mission had only an enemy and a SA SAM. My mission also had an SA-8 so I tried to remove it and test the mission again and it seems the strange radar bars dissapeared. Could the SAMs affect F-4 radar somehow?

Such vertical lines are either the result of getting jammed or its a known bug that a lot of players report being fixed after selecting the "Radar Performance" option in the Special Options. So I'd give that a try.Regarding Jester not finding the Mig, if you havent seen the return on the screen then its likely your fault for not positioning the aircraft right or simply expecting too much from this early radar tech.There isnt too much Jester or any WSO can do to make a target appear on the screen besides pointing the antenna there and tweaking the gain, which Jester does automatically.If you can supply a track or video of the situation we could have a look and give details on what happened :)

Zabuzard Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I can't find the "radar performance" option? Is it in the module or dcs options?Yes, its one of those:https://f4.manuals.heatblur.se/dcs/special_options.html
Zabuzard Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I don't see any option for radar performance.Mind sharing a screenshot or something?Have you checked the screenshot in the above manual link?
Zabuzard Posted January 5 Posted January 5 I looked at the manual and the screenshot, but I don't see any options regarding radar performance.If you cant find it, please share a screenshot so we can guide you to it. Possibly you need to scroll down.
