investigating TGP does not track some naval targets beyond a certain distance

[speed-of-heat]

As per title, I have been able to track a target close in but not at distance it, is not on all naval targets, but certainly this one, apologies for the long track I forgot to declaw it...

Failure to track Naval target.trk

It happens with vehicles too at longer ranges, probably due to rendering.

And I'm sure they are aware, if not please tell us so we can make tracks.

Hi, this is due to the fact that the range at which you can point track units at is determined by your ownship altitude. Since you were only flying at about 20000ft when you were trying to point track the target you were too far away since at 20k you only have a point track range of about 20nm. This limitation applies to all units, sea, ground and aircraft, it is especially noticeable when trying to track aircraft in the A-A mode on the TGP. it's already reported to ED.

I wrote a report about this very issue a few years ago.

I was asked to create the thread by BN.

I was asked to separate, this from a ground track bug, so I'm guessing that would be the same keep it separate for air to air
