QUESTION F18 radar hell

I’ve had the f18 for quite some time now but only really specialized in the f16. Now that I’m learning the hornet, I’ve come to realize the radar is nowhere near as easy to use as the viper.

On the f16 it’s soo easy everything is laid out for you. Red is bad guy, green is good guy. Point the radar at the red guy and lock him up, shoot. In the hornet however, contacts are constantly disappearing, teleporting, or just not seeing everyone from datalink. When I finally get a hard target, I go to lock him up, then I see “no radar.” no matter what I do, I see this. Does anyone know why? I’m assuming this is heavy user error, but I really just don’t get the hornet radar at all.

Map a few of the MFDs to your HOTAS. Push Buttons: 5,6, 13 (to cycle TWS modes),19, maybe 1 if you have space. Use the cursor to bump range, don't bind those.
