That's what I'm talking about when I say its "hard coded". The Developers simply took the output from the SJ (Surface Search) and displayed its output on both the A-Scope and PPI screens. The SD (Air Search) was put onto the Navigation Map?!?!?!

Just a rinky-dink way of doing it! The problem is, to make things work as expected the game needs a hard coded patch.......dig into the files that aren't supposed to be accessed by us the consumer, and fix it by programmers that know what their doing.

As modding goes, we can change colors, adjust screen sizes, add content from time to time following the method that the hard coded files allow. But, changing the hard coded files to do what we want is entirely something else.
