escaner Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I keep finding these bandit air to air contacts. I can lock them but visually there is nothing there (see screenshot at 0.1NM range, it should be perfectly visible). I will not lose lock on them even when they are behind my aircraft, out of gimbal limits. AMRAAMs do not track them and Sidewinders do not give me tone either. I cannot find any post about them in the forums. What are they? Is this a bug? If so, has it been reported? Thanks [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted February 4, 2021 ED Team Share Posted February 4, 2021 It could just be delay from the JHMCS, but if you think it is something else please add a track replay. thank you Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

dorianR666 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Ive seen this too. Its a common occurance in the Waltz mission (at least for me). Radar tracks remain forever, even outside gimbal limits for unlimited time and even if you turn radar off and on.

dorianR666 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I went through my old screenshots and found image of it Notice my radar knob is OFF (RDY is crossed on right DDI) Yet target is still present on radar page and HUD, never disappearing. Its position was some sort of extrapolation, not fixed point in space. Also notice center DDI not showing the contact on SA. The target didnt exist. It wasnt present on F10 map, it wasnt visible when flying to it and it didnt exist in tacview recording.

escaner Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 BIGNEWY, I don't know how to replicate the problem. there should be a couple of tracks from multiplayer sessions in my disc, but they must be 3h long, probably not useful. Would a chunk of video streaming help? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escaner Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I have uploaded the trackfile here, but even at 2x speed it deviates from the actual events pretty soon for me. The maximum closure with the "ghost" happens about 29 minutes into the mission. My radar could see the contact (upper HAFU) even at over 80NM and when not scanning its position, and as dorianR666 says, Tacview does not show anything at its position. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AKGGp4UzfucH71_yP3yfxlUuYeoctSg5/view?usp=sharing Edit: I have tried the track also without acceleration and it also does not work for me: at some point my aircraft starts turning to the left and going upwards instead of following its actual flight. But this kind of things has always happened to me while other people say they work for them, so who knows.
