The default sensor mod , you do not need to have the SD radar. SJ will infact detect air and sea targets. You can still install the SD radar if you want ( I do so, simply for asthetic reasons), but its the SJ radar that does it all.
The alternate sensor mod works as thus: unmodded the SD radar doesnt pick up anything at all. The adjustments made to it so that it will pick up air targets again, have the unfortunatly side effect of also picking up surface targets. When entering/leaving port, (or any scenario involving alot of lifeboats) this is a MAJOR pita because you keep getting spammed by radar contact reports. Hence, was the reason for the FTT default sensor arragement with the SJ, as now you can turn that radar off, and not be annoyed by contact spam. However, some may not like that solution, so the alternate was provided in the support directory.
As to the radar on S boats, i beleive thats a stock bug. I recall looking at it with three different sensor files (including stock), and in none of them did the S boat radar work for me.
