Thanks for the fast responses. I accept the point about the radar cone but to be honest I was having trouble finding contacts at all ranges. Perhaps some more practice is required.

No radar contacts in 'dogfight' mission
Ok, first post so please take it easy on a UK newbie.
I’m just working my way through the BMS 4.33 manual and some excellent YouTube tutorials (by Krause - the guy seems to be a legend).
I was in the dogfight ‘furball’ mode trying to practice using the FCR to lock-up and engage targets and I noticed that I was having real problems consistently finding radar contacts on the left MFD in FCR mode, either using RWS or TWS modes. This was the case when I could clearly see the hostile aircraft right down the boresight, well within 3NM. I’m sure I had the radar range set correctly (minimum in this case), the radar was definitely scanning and the RWR was showing the contacts clearly. Any ideas why the FCR wasn’t showing anything?
Thanks
