I have a quick question in regards to the autotracking. I've been noticing that when I turn the auto track departures, the second they start to taxi or put their [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned Transponder code it starts tracking the plane on the ground. This has happened both when I'm working top down and when I have a tower online. (Even when I didn't [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign the transponder code also) I'm not sure I have something setup wrong, or what.

 

Thanks, Andrew

I believe that's an issue with your radar sites. If the planes are at an elevation above the radar site elevation (I don't know the threshhold), they will appear as if they are airborne, thus, they will autotrack as well.
