I made some further testing and came up with some things.
Never mind, after investigating things a bit more, it looks like the RWR problem at least is related to textures or texture coordinates.
The offending line is the symbol.material = "INDICATIOn_RWR", which from reading materials.lua in the F16/Cockpit/Scripts folder reads sets the texture to ResourcesPath.."RWR/indication_RWR.tga. Reading the logs, this is one of the files which yield a "invalid parameter" error:
Though this is also the case for the file which gets loaded if alternative line material is used. Just for fun, I decided to try to modify that file, and this is the result:
With the file replaced by this:
Now that I think about it, this corresponds to the original image,
Which renders the corner of the image.
Setting the constants in the tex_params array seems to have no effect. on the output. Setting the side variable to 1.0 shows 4 copies of the image centered around the radar contact like so
After all this testing, I ended up re-exporting the indication_RWR.tga file using gimp which solved the issue. Looks like something causes that file to be read without transparency.
I believe this is related to the Invalid Parameter errors we get in the log files when loading textures. As far as I can tell, the gimp export solved that issue. However, the error is also present for files which render fine, like the arcade.tga above.
RWR rendering on the F16 is currently broken. A fix was suggested by https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1722#issuecomment-746417677
