Horns Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Working my way through the training missions, have a couple of problems with M05 Radar. There are two occasions when contacts are referenced that I have been unable to see at all on radar. I'd like to confirm that these are issues with my application of the radar rather than problems with the training mission itself, so I'd appreciate some feedback on this... The first instance of not seeing a radar contact is when the difference between PPI and B-Scope is being demonstrated. The VO mentions "contact flying directly in front of you as a reference". The other instance is when the IFF functions are being demonstrated and we are told to observe two contacts on radar. I have done this mission five times or more and I haven't been able to see any of these three contacts at any time, regardless of radar settings used. After following the VO further and turning to waypoint two, there are other contacts mentioned that do become visible. Can anyone confirm if there is a bug with the first two instances (totalling three contacts) of contacts appearing? If the mission works correctly and I'm likely to be doing something wrong please let me know. Settings used listed below. Radar is in "Em" mode, tried both PPI and B-Scope, low, interleaved and high PRF, 1, 2 and 4 bar scan, aperture at 15, 30 and 60, antenna left and right and up and down, and ranges 5 - 80 nm.

Didn't have a problem using Open Beta 2.5.2.20036, perhaps you've been caught out by something simple ? Two things to be aware of is to keep airspeed below 300 KTAS (260KIAS is ideal) to not overtake and don't press the space bar before you have done what you want - found them, etc., as the test contacts spawn in for the test and then despawn when you move onto the next part of the tutorial. The free version of Tacview is the ideal tool to answer questions like yours. http://www.tacview.net/ Edited August 3, 2018 by Ramsay i9 9900K @4.9GHz, 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...

Got that sorted and now it seems to be fine :pilotfly: I'm downloading Tacview now. I wish I knew about it sooner, it will be nice to have that since I don't trust the in-game tracks anymore.
