Weather radar

Still sitting on the ramp at EGPK heading 190° getting these results with the radar.

The chart is for your orientation.

Are these echos on the VP from the landscape?
Why are there no echos on the normal top down view without changing range or tilt?
Is the VP a complete different radar mode (not just another representation of the data)?
And does changing the tracking change anything in the VP mode?

Just looked at a rw weather radar, there should be a lot of radar echos. But that's maybe a common MSFS problem.

Now it looks like this and quite realistic.

By the way: When I fumble around with the gain knob and than moving it back to full the echos are shown very weak though. (photo 3 & 4).

I tried this second time while flying in manually entered rainy weather.

First sweep gives clean image:

After that it's just a mess:

Sometimes it starts to mess even middle of sweep, note didn't draw anything on the left:

That's what I've mentioned in #4.

How do you start your MSFS session/your flight?

This is because you have the NEXRAD imagery up on the GNS 530. It's a known bug in MSFS since day one, and we haven't been able to coax a solution out of Asobo yet, to the best of my knowledge.

You were absolutely right. I disabled NEXRAD and it started working like charm.
