Version: 1.6.34.0
Frequency: Frequently/Always
Severity: High
Context: TFDi Design MD-11
Similar MSFS 2020 issue: Not reported for 2020, but behavior is identical - tested in latest version of both sims today.
Bug description: The radar image creates corrupted/inaccurate images when weather radar is requested above ~140 miles and intermittently with both TERR and WXR.
When WXR is requested beyond 160, the image is correct WXR until ~140nm, then becomes what appears to be a terrain radar.
Additionally, users are reporting that radar images will, on occasion, simply not display at all. Finally, we’re seeing square/blocky WXR images at low resolutions, even with more than adequate resolution.
Repro steps: Request WXR above 160nm, observe. For blank issue, steps unknown - intermittent/uncommon.
