1307.14 - visualization of FOV of FCR radars - dual radar case

Hi Guys,

Seems FOV works well now. However, when a unit has an acquisition radar and FCR radar, FCR engagement arc is not visible. Switching off non-FCR radar shows the correct arc.

FCR+Acquisition on:

FCR on Acquisition off:

Is it working as intended or should FCR radar arc not be merged with acquisition radar range circle during an engagement.

Happens in 1328.8.

The display shows the max range of the air sensor of the unit, so this is why the FOV radar, with larger range than the FCR, is displayed "over" the FCR radar

I understand that, however during the engagement/ when FC radar is used they could be split and shown separately (2 at the same time).

As it was the case in one of the betas when this feature was introduced. And that worked better IMHO.

After the engagement it can go back to the current behavior.

This way one can understand FOV limits during engagements. When radar ranges are merged the player does not know FOV limits as they are not exposed in DB viewer. Alternatively FOV limit can be exposed in the database viewer, that way it can be exploited (I am aware not many platform have it set currently) and also verified/updated.

Some food for thought.
