NineLine, I've submitted two separate bugs that are feeding into this issue, in separate threads, with tracks.

Good stuff, ExNus! Keep them coming. :thumbup: Let's get this already impressive radar even better.

I didn’t want to necro this but damn....I’m still having this issue; especially in TWS. 4 mig 23’s coming in hot at my altitude. I will lock in TWS about 35 miles out. Sure enough, at about 20 miles I lose lock. Pick back up and immediately lose. I get the radar and it’s not that I’m searching to big on an area. I switch to STT and can’t see them. They aren’t notching since I set them to not evade. I can eventually get them in boresight. Makes the F-18 pretty useless in air to air

"Unlike F-16, "just lock" in F/A-18's RWS and TWS MAN will not adjust radar automatically to maintain lock.

Use TWS AUTO and it will try to maintain lock just like F-16 or F-15C."

 

Also post about that RWS will drop a soft lock is bandit goes outside the radar beam.  Easy to test, I softed lock pilot at 8k, my captain bars were at 10k and 6k, if bandit went above 10k or below 6k it drops the soft lock.

 

That is what I see.  Is this is a bug or how it works ?   ie. if you want to track you use TWS auto mode (or STT)

Bit of an old thread, but yes, RWS does not have any type of automatic adjustment of the azimuth or elevation of the radar. TWS AUTO is the only non-STT mode that will adjust the azimuth and elevation.
