Jackbilt24 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 So I set up a little mission with bombs and enemy aircraft. I destroy the ground targets but the air targets that are usually right in front of me do not show up and I have no ability to find them on radar even if they are within 10 nm. I don’t know if this is common or a huge error but I’ve been having it for a while and think it’s worth reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 What's your antenna elevation set to while searching for the targets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including an AWACS/datalink in your mission will help you see what's going on until you get a better feel for what the radar can/cannot see. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furiz Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 It is something like this, Antenna is set to scan from angels 25 to 8, the hostile is on angels 21 and it doesn't pick him up, while the friendly on angels 20 is picked up. Was gonna report it too but couldn't get the track file, it happened more than once and with any type of plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackbilt24 Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 What's your antenna elevation set to while searching for the targets? Same altitude as the target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to try some more testing in a little to confirm but I’ve seen this for so long. We’ll see if I’m dumb or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This situation happen always, not sometime, is a fact, so i hope ED will fix it in near future, but, there's another situation in that showed screen Pic. Watch that system File ( Holo) at 40 nm, why?? .RWS Search Mode if I understand , are not part of RWS files but TWS, so, interesting this situation that i also been interacting with when in BVR Squad Training. If i'm wrong with this RWS observation, plse. be happy to explain it. Thanks. Edited July 20, 2020 by slowfinger23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
