Heres an alternate idea, totally outside the box. I can't claim sole credit for it, and i didnt get it to work, but maybe someone else can. Maybe someone else will catch something i missed.

SD radar is really nothing more then ACTIVE aircraft detection. Why not reverse it to PASSIVE like Sh3? Sh3 had passive plane detection in the form of RWR, and it bloody worked. It did exactly what we want it to do now. It's sensor type 4 if im not mistaken.

So really all you need to do (in theory), is redo the stats on SD, change the sensor type, then equip all JP planes with a MK1 airborne radar (6K max distance, whoopity do), change the "radar signals detected" line in the menu.txt, and presto chango. Plane detection with no surface contacts.

Onlyl one small problem. i coudlnt get it to work

Maybe i screwed up somewhere, so if someone else wants to try.......
