Just edit all SD and SJ radars so their "ElevationMax = 90" become

ElevationMax = 181


Please Mraah .... correct me if i made a mistake in some place !!!

Many Thanks Mrahh for job and effort in this research !

Redwine,

Quite Welcome!! I'm glad to be of some use.

Thank you for explaining how to change it for everyone.

Only the SD entries had ElevationMax = 90. The other SJ's had 30, and perhaps 60 if I remember. No big deal, since the point was changing it to 181. Thank you again.

I'm wondering if these values would work, since 0 and 360 seem to be the "normal" values for the rest of the sensors we see in the file. Probably would work but at least we know 181 does!!

ElevationMin = 0
ElevationMax = 360

Thank you ! for the job...

It is a little bit confuse, because in the sonar sensors, zero is up, 90 is ahead, 180 is down , 270 is back and 360 is as zero up.

I think so the 181 and the 357, which is a little bit under the horizontal.... is due to the sensor position height, may be the game simulates the sensor position height, then if a rada is over the ship mast, it can be at 30 meters or in a battleship at 60 meters height.

May be 15 meters into a DD, then if we put 180, all under 15 meters height will be into a radar shadow zone, under the detection beam.

This gives us a little protection when so near the ship, even with periscope up, if we are so near the ship, the radar will not detect us, i think so it is real.

Just imagine a beam proyection down of 1 degree, from 15 meters height, the beam will reach the water some meters far... inside this cone, the radar is null.

I'm with the guys who have posted requesting a link to a modified file so we don't all have to experiment with the tweaker program.

Thanks Redwine. Going to try it out now.

I had returned to port ending my 1st patrol and put this file in place. I then left port Feb '42 starting my 2nd patrol in a Porpoise. Nothing has changed for me. I still get the radar operator announcing ship contacts while facing N and the grey ship contacts fading out when I turn S. As has happened when I 1st loaded the 1.1 patch, none of the radar displays work. I cannot turn them on or off with switches or control panel. Port upgrade list shows I have SJ installed and cannot install SD. Damage control panel indicates I have SD installed.

You running any mods?
How did you install it?
Did you exit out of SH4 then install file, then start SH4 again?

If you manually installed it, then what folder did you install the Sensors_sub_US.sim file?
Should be in :

data\Library\USSubParts
