- - Does radar stop working for you? (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=109650)

Here is something im finding with my radars, as soon as you steer any course South of East or West ..... ie the boats bow crosses 90/270 heading south you loose all radar contacts. Turn back to the north and as soon as the bow reaches 90/270 or any degree north of that the contacts return.

It does not matter where the contacts are in realation to your boat ..... only the direction your traveling.

This is easily fixable. The SD radar has a min height of 6 meters and a max height of 2500 meters. The SJ radar has min hieght of 0 meters and a max height of 200 meters.

All one has to do, is raise the min height of the SD radar so it wont pick up ship masts. Ive made the adjustments but its kinda hard to test in a career game when the radar stops working :88) Hopefully by just not manually using the radar i can proceed forward with this. ;)

Has someone released a mod with these adjustments included? I don't remember seeing it if so. Link?

Another thing i experienced, was i loss al air contacts after upgrade to SJ-1... may be the combination SJ-1 and Improved SD doenst works fine.
At next mission, i change my SJ-1 by an standard SJ, and stay with SJ, and Improved SD, and air contacts comes back...

Funny. When I submerged and surfaced during the artillery training mission, I lost all radar contacts.

I, personally, cannot wait til they fix radar.
Will it be possible to turn off SD? or is that always on?

Parked a stationary Yamato in the middle and have been sailing all around it out of visual range. Its the same for every sub I have tried. If your bow is pointing north the radar works ..... turn south and you lose the contact.

Im assuming that is the same for air contacts but have not tried that yet .

I tried, and failed...... miserably. I think ive only reduced the number of surface contacts.. at best. and even that is doubtful after more playtesting.
