[Bug] - Radar can see "Late Activated" aircraft BEFORE they activate

[Rudel_chw]

Hello all,

 

I'm editing a training mission about radar employment, and I have noticed that the radar "sees" the radar contacts before I actually activate them.

On this image, I've just turned on the radar and it already shows contacts ... the funny thing is that the contacts do not exist yet, as I have not reached the mission point where I will activate the corresponding aircraft:

 

 

Here is how the intended contacts are defined:

 

 

And these is the trigger where I activate them, after I've done the radar self-test:

 

 

Does anyone knows of a work-around for this bug that I could use?  I wan't to keep the contacts out until I'm ready to introduce them into the training.

Thanks a lot for any help with this,

 

 

Eduardo

I can confirm. It's even possible to detect, lock and shoot missiles at invisible "non activated" aircraft .

This test was done on Caucasus map. I tried both IL-76MD (same as Rudel_chw) and with F/A-18C Lot 20.

Hi, thanks a lot for confirming that it isnt just me  ... I added the [Bug] tag as it truly seems like a bug now.

now, if I could only think of a workaround ... perhaps using Mist or Moose?

OMG - thank you! I thought I was going crazy but yes I've seen the exact same issue.

We'll check this again, and fix if needed
