[REPORTED] RWS radar stabilization and tracking loss

man I was hoping for a fix or update today

Maybe next week. I'm just asking myself if this is recognized as bug and they are going to fix it. I'm not complaining, i'm just asking if there is some official word about it.

It's just weird that no one has even acknowledged this problem.

Well at least explain to us the proper use of the radar if it’s “not a bug”. Clearly the material we have doesn’t cover this. We need guidance.

That's what worry me. I fear its not considered a bug...

in the meantime...i send another track from stable :smilewink:

F18_radarbug_stable.trk

Well, just finished 2 hours long online session with my friends… I've never been that pissed like today. Flying the 18 is now like driving a Ferrari looking car with a tractor engine… During this 2 hours of flying I've had normal lock 2 times maybe. We were flying simple mission, only IR missiles, some ground units, no scripts etc. Ended up in flying a Mirage...

Ok. just encountered this.

But ONLY in multiplayer. Been playing SP for a while with no issues. First time I took the Hornet into MP and locked a target up, encountered this issue.

I ran into this bug, so I removed the SRS line from ~/Saved Games/Scripts/Export.lua. After that, my radar worked normally in TTI. Not sure if it was a fluke, but it's something to try.

Can U please explain better wich line? I made a search SRS in the script but i didn't find it

it will only be there if you installed SRS radio. it will look like this:

local dcsSr=require('lfs');dofile(dcsSr.writedir()..[[scripts\DCS-SimpleRadioStandalone.lua]])

Ho..thanks...I'll give it a try :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

No joy...i removed the line but it didnt work :(

I don't have SRS and I still get this lock bug.

I have two lines in that file, one for SRS and one for Tacview and I commented each out and no joy. I also turned off tacview export in the menus. I figured if anything tacview might have something to do with it since DCS exports flight data for it...but also no joy.

I find it really odd that no official comment (even as simple as we are aware and are working on it) has been made on such a game breaking bug for many people, especially since we have spent our own time troubleshooting and have provided ample evidence in track files that there is an issue.

no srs radio, but also this bug

Seeing as the same update from the beta made it to the stable release, I'm sure more people will notice it now unless it's completely random which I don't think it is. Too many here have experienced it to be a random event.

It amazes me that after 8 days and so many views, comments and tracks/videos no dev acknowledged the bug yet, looks like the carrier sliding that they were in denial for weeks before admiting it (and promissing the fix for last patch, then not fixing it).

We are not asking for an immediate solution we just want to know that the devs are aware of the problem and are working on a fix asap (hopefully a hotfix) since it compleatly broke the hornet's combat capability

As I noted, in my case this bug only occurs in MP. I think it would be helpful for folks reporting this bug to clarify whether or not this is the case for them. Otherwise devs/testers reading this thread may assume (reasonably) that SP vs MP does not matter and, upon testing and being unable to reproduce the bug in SP, dismiss it. So maybe (a) edit the the first and for that matter all previous post to note that the bug occurs in MP and (b) highlight it with "[EDIT: MP ONLY]" to draw attention to it?

I had this bug in SP, no Mods, Scripts, extra tools running, just the vanilla DCS Open Beta version without any modifications. Trackfile and Video showing this Bug a couple pages back.

Ah, interesting. Weird how it pops up for me ONLY in MP ....

Here is something even more interesting. I fly a training mission with carrier and a few tankers about (same one in my track on post 2)

TACAN is also behaving the same, I tune it to the tanker and head for it, only to find no tanker there. I'm doing 500+ knots towards the TACAN source and the distance is barely reducing and when I get there, the TACAN goes indicator on the hud goes to 6 o'clock like I passed the tanker....only there was no tanker there.

See if I can't reproduce and get a shorter track for that.

If you can, you should probably open it up as a new thread so it is recognized as a valid issue not buried here on pg 9 of a separate (and also valid) issue!

I am suspicious that this may have something to do with distance maybe? In this track I target tanker Texaco and also have TACAN up, while I could not reproduce the goofy TACAN stuff I mentioned before in this track, you do see that I have Texaco locked up and the designator will be off until I get to about 7 miles and then I get a proper lock. I then play with dogfight modes and something seems off here as well but I'm not sure on the parameters of locking up something in those modes. Anytime you see the unlock, that is me doing that so that's not the radar loosing track.

So in the same mission, I can reproduce the issue AND get proper locks on the same target at a later time (could be distance or just a red herring)
