i could not find the answer in a forum or a google search so my apologies if this has been answered previously.
steaming in a Type7C, mid-1942. the equipment list says we have a Seetakt29 (surface) radar but the icon in the HUD is ghosted and i cannot go to the radar screen.
i have browsed all sorts of related files but the answer is not an obvious one, hence this post.
ActiveUserPlayerUnit has an entry for surface radar:
[UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1.UnitPart.Compartment 1.EquipmentSlot 2]
ID=RadarAntennaFront
NameDisplayable=Radar Antenna
Type=NULL
AcceptedTypes=NULL
UserCustomizable=Yes
ExternalNodeName3D=R02
ExternalDamageZoneTypeID3D=3
IDLinkEquipmentLoaded=FuMO29
[UserPlayerUnit 1.UnitPartSlot 1.UnitPart.Compartment 1.EquipmentSlot 2.Equipment]
ID=FuMO29
NameDisplayable=FuMO 29 'Seetakt' Radar Antenna
EquipmentInterval=1900-01-01, 1999-12-31
EquipmentSlotType=NULL
ExternalLinkName3D=FuMO29GEMA_type9
FunctionalType=EqFTypeRadarAntennaSJEarly
Hitpoints=200.000000
EfficiencyHumanFactor=1.000000
EfficiencyMechanicFactor=1.000000
Efficiency=1.000000
but the Uboat7C.SNS file does not have an entry:
;Radar
[Sensor 7]
NodeName=R01
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231
;RadioDF
[Sensor 8]
NodeName=D01
LinkName=NSS_Uboat9D2_Round_Antena
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231
;Radar Warning
[Sensor 9]
NodeName=C01
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19441001
[Sensor 10]
NodeName=R02
LinkName=NULL
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231;Radar
i've also browsed the Type7C.dat file....nothing.
and i've browsed the Senzori file in the Library...nada.
so, what am i missing in order to make this thing work?
