Radar ground mapping
-
Hey All,
Im a bit confused as to why im not painting the terrain on the map using the GND MAP mode or even in WX with GCS off. See image below
Those mountains are right next to KABQ (75nm from PPOS). KABQ elevation is 5300ft, those mountains hit 10000 on the right. Beam center should be at -3.2 degrees to paint KABQ but nothing is appearing. What am I missing?Thanks!

I'm not sure what the cutoff is, but there is (from my experience) from pretty much all terrain maps a height above it at which point it will stop showing it.
So if those mountains top out at 10k, you're 18kft above it, so it won't show you anything. If you were some amount lower I believe it would start showing it.

Just have to "tilt" it down more.
It's tough to implement both wx and ground returns in MSFS - it isn't a precise radar simulation.
Think of it that you're moving a whole radar-plane directly below the aircraft vs. an actual radar transmission from the nose.
It'll show up eventually.
