Ducimus,

I made a new Sensors_sub_US Tweakfile if you haven't already. Pasted to end of this post. Appears you have to go back and "search" for everything again for 1.2 SIM file.

Noted changes to SD and SJ :

Early_SD
PreciseRange = 10000
MinHeight = 100
MaxHeight = 5000
ProbInsideArc = 0.85

Late_SD
MinHeight = 80
MaxHeight = 5000
ProbInsideArc = 0.9

ALL SJ
MaxHeight = 80

This new change almost fits the min_height data of aircraft SIM files.

AFB_A6M2_Zero
min_height = 50

ALBS_G4M_Betty
min_height = 5

ALBS_H6K
min_height = 50

ALBS_H8K
min_height = 100


Without doing any tests, in theory, using default 1.2 data, you should be able to detect an H8k beyond 10,000 m, the remaining aircraft at precise range. Also note, they never changed the ElevationMax data ... radar contacts still lost when sub heading south.

Also note, the Max_Height change. Back in my earlier tests (1.1) I played with max height for the SD without changes any other data except ProbInsideArc = 0... my findings :

1. MaxHeight=2500 the A6M2 was detected at 21,100m +/- 400m
2. MaxHeight=50 the A6M2 was detected at 14,600m +/- 100m

My conclusion was that MaxHeight determined the sensitivity (ie range) with a constant Surface=100. When I tested the SD using ONLY a change to the Surface value I got the same result ...

1. Surface=100 then A6M2 detected at 21,100m +/- 400m
2. Surface=200 then A6M2 detected at 14,600m +/- 100m

So, perhaps MIN and MAX height (if not related to actual distance above/below a certain point in space [changing the aircraft min-height may prove me wrong]) is actually a sensitivity adjustment or in radar terms RESOLUTION against some constant variable that has yet to determined.

<---- lump #1

Here's my new Sensors_sub_US file :

changes :

1. DropDownName from ref's original file added
2. More searches added for BearingMin/Max to reflect 2 entries in sonar sensors 13, 14 and 15.
3. Changed SensorType search from integer to byte. Ref's original file was integer. Since we're not changing the sensortype it hasn't caused me any problems. If you want to change the sensortype be sure to change it back to read integer.



EDIT NOTE : Be sure after pasting below that there isn't a space between the "h" and "t" at end of MinSensorHeight and MaxSensorHeight for sensors # 10-20.


Edit note : I deleted the paste below, it was broken and wrong. Sorry for bad post.
