Akula67 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Hi everybody, I've been flying the Viggen for a month and I absolutely love it :thumbup: I recently figured out that all the units which belong to the category AIR DEFENSE in mission editor never show up on radar. For instance, I placed a BMP on an empty airfield, it showed up on radar about 20km away. I did the same with SA8, SA13, 2S6 and SA15, they never ever showed up on my radar, even at very close range. I was flying the same heading and same altitude with same radar gain. I even tried with the large EWR which should have a fairly big RCS : same issue, not a single blip on radar ! I hope Heatblur can fix this, I'd love to smash some Tunguskas with my BK90's !! :D Edit : I had this bug before in 1.5, still present in 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabuzard Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Interesting find. But note that the radar was only meant to be used to detect ships and not targets on the ground :) Switching the radar mode from Logarithmic to Linear could help though.

Akula67 Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Up ! Bug is still present on 2.5.2, is there any fix in the pipeline regarding this issue ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozality Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 That's fascinating. I knew ground targets were possible, but figured it was just too difficult to pick out on the radar scope. I'll have to pay more attention to that. That would make updating the target location via radar fix a lot more useful now.

Yes, but that shouldn't differ between different classes of ground units ;) Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

QuiGon Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Has this been fixed?

Knock-Knock Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Has this been fixed? Nope. Air Defence units, and any (it seems) static units dont appear on the radar. - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
