I i changed it as you for the v1.1 version file.

Really this game have lot of great things, but radar and sonar are not...

SH I radar was just wondeful, with SH II radar i was capable to sink ship with my deck gun in middle of the fog, beyond the visual range using my radar.

But SH III and IV are really anoying...

Redwine,

Using my tweakfile from earlier post, if you want to return the radar parameters back to Ducimus' Flavored mod see below. I tested them and they work fine. I haven't played with SJ radar yet for 1.2 .

From Ducimus' Old File :

Early_SD change to ;
PreciseRange = 13000
MaxRange = 18000
MinHeight = 8.3
MaxHeight = 2500
Surface = 75
ElevationMax = 181

Late_SD change to ;
PreciseRange = 15000
MaxRange = 19000
MinHeight = 8.3
MaxHeight = 2500
Surface = 20
ProbInsideArc = 0
ElevationMax = 181

I now think its the min / max height values.

This link is a hotfix for the radar..

It is 1.2 sensors + the 90 / 270 fix + the SD radar fix

SD range extended to 1.2 values as per dev intentions

Function restored by lowering detection heights

Many thanks ! I have stored the previous version ...

Just want to thank you guys for great tweaking! I'm following this thread closely. The Radar bug is quite annoying.

But is there a fully functional file to get the radar to work also heading south?
For the 1.2 patch?

If not what weaknesses is it in the current file?
Is the problem the elevation settings and the SD radar?

[Ducimus]

Can someone list, EVERY single variable for the SD radar and its default values for 1.1 and 1.2? Just want to dwell on it for a little while. Compare and contrast time. A total snapshot of each. I'd do it, but im @work currently.

Hi

I did some extensive test with the latest file posted by Jace. Unfortunately it does not work

The SJ-Radar works fine.

But the Air radar has the 90 to 270 bug with aircrafts (not with ships!) and it detects all ships.

This Radar is really weird.

Here's a dupe for those here :

Early_SD v1.1
SensorType = 1
PreciseRange = 12000
MaxRange = 55560
MinHeight = 6
MaxHeight = 2500
MinSensorHeight = 0.2
MaxSensorHeight = 20000
Surface = 100
RPMDetLevel = 0
SweepPeriod = 1
SweepArc = 0
ProbInsideArc = 0.95
Revolving = 0
SkipSweep = 1
BearingMin = 0
BearingMax = 360
ElevationMin = 359
ElevationMax = 90

Early_SD v1.2
SensorType = 1
PreciseRange = 10000
MaxRange = 55560
MinHeight = 100
MaxHeight = 5000
MinSensorHeight = 0.2
MaxSensorHeight = 20000
Surface = 100
RPMDetLevel = 0
SweepPeriod = 1
SweepArc = 0
ProbInsideArc = 0.85
Revolving = 0
SkipSweep = 1
BearingMin = 0
BearingMax = 360
ElevationMin = 359
ElevationMax = 90

Late_SD v1.1
SensorType = 1
PreciseRange = 23000
MaxRange = 111120
MinHeight = 6
MaxHeight = 2500
MinSensorHeight = 0.2
MaxSensorHeight = 20000
Surface = 100
RPMDetLevel = 0
SweepPeriod = 1
SweepArc = 0
ProbInsideArc = 0.95
Revolving = 0
SkipSweep = 1
BearingMin = 0
BearingMax = 360
ElevationMin = 359
ElevationMax = 90

Late_SD v1.2
SensorType = 1
PreciseRange = 23000
MaxRange = 111120
MinHeight = 80
MaxHeight = 5000
MinSensorHeight = 0.2
MaxSensorHeight = 20000
Surface = 100
RPMDetLevel = 0
SweepPeriod = 1
SweepArc = 0
ProbInsideArc = 0.9
Revolving = 0
SkipSweep = 1
BearingMin = 0
BearingMax = 360
ElevationMin = 359
ElevationMax = 90

Note : To compare with SJ v1.2 (max height changed from 200 to 80)

Early_SJ v1.2
SensorType = 1
PreciseRange = 15000
MaxRange = 54864
MinHeight = 0
MaxHeight = 80
MinSensorHeight = 0
MaxSensorHeight = 20000
Surface = 100
RPMDetLevel = 0
SweepPeriod = 20
SweepArc = 9
ProbInsideArc = 0.95
Revolving = 1
SkipSweep = 1
BearingMin = 0
BearingMax = 360
ElevationMin = 357.5
ElevationMax = 30

At this point my thoguht is to back up, rewind, and take things step by step. line by line. Theres some other variables at play here, and id venture a guess that nobody really understand what they are or do. If you do, please say so.



Most notable changes is they made the min/max height alot higher. We also know if you raise the minHeight past 8.3 or so, air contacts cease to be. I have to wonder whats the min/max sensor height do?

The MinSensorHeight and MaxSensorHeights should control the same as for the passive sonar. I changed those to have an affect. They ranges from about -6 to -300 in value. I assume that is -6 meters to -300 meters deep.

But according to that logic, the setting are 0.2 and 20000, the same for both -thus they BOTH should be screwed up! Detecting everything with the bounds of the other parameter MinHeight and MaxHeight. Try changing the Min/Max SensorHeight to something normal and see if that works.

Update:

notice SJ works and its SweepArc is not zero.
SweepArc = 9
ProbInsideArc = 0.95

But for SD SweepArc= 0. Hard to pick something up inside a zero angle sweep arc. Set for 9 like the SJ and see what happens.! set Revolving = 1 also. Duplicate and see if it works. Just a guess if all else fails.

Basically meaning, Min of 359 is pointing 1 degree below the horizon, Max of 90 is straight up. The SJ data has Min/Max of 357.5/30 . Looks fine on papar but it appears it's not using those values for that reason.

Yes, that is because the SD Radar is NOT rotating around the Z-axis. See above, that might would explain it. Z axis is the direction pointing straight up. It needs to turn in a full circle. Sounds good as any theory...:/?
