So did the BDA report your received get wiped when your FCR does another scan? The guys I fly with find the most difficult thing is when the FCR picks up dead targets. Especially in a battlezone with multiple working airframes, not just Apache's.

So since the CEO of ED has said that MSFS isn't realistic enough, and that only highly realistic high fidelity aircraft will make it through testing, why 11 years later do we still not have the Cyclic Trim Beeper Switch in the UH-1? The Mi-24 has it. This has always been a glaring oversight to me as one that flew and worked on the Huey in the US Army I've always wondered why that wasn't included and still hasn't been fixed 10 years later.
