Anyone on how to fix RADAR?

jhelix70 · 04-18-07, 05:21 PM

People have been saying it only works when the sub is heading 270 to 90 degrees, and I have the same experience.

So two major sub systems, the radar and TDC only work half the time. I hear the TDC is ok after patching to 1.2.

But this radar thing is annoying me. Why would the subs heading have any effect at all? Any modders out there know how to fix it?

Its a pretty major break, since the radar was so instrumental in US subs gaining an advantage over the enemy who did not have it until much later. I'm not saying the game is "broken"...but this is a pretty major annoyance unless I'm playing just early war subs. Maybe we can "Tack" and use the radar that way...

Yeah, I'm sure. I patched to 1.2 and still experienced it afterwards. I was testing in the 1944 mission "battle of the phillipine sea".

Go to the SH4 Mods forum here and you can download a .sim file that will enable radar 360 degrees sub heading. Works for both patch 1.1 and 1.2.

Really there is a mod fixing this annoying bug?

Where is this mod, I've lookes around in the SH4 mod room, but can't find it - anyone knows? Thanks in advance!

You'll find a discussion about that and a link for a download here:

Or you can install the excellent Mod of Ducimus, which you'll find here:

The problem is that the SD (Air-Radar) problem is not solved yet.

With the file in the first link you'll have a working SJ-Radar on 360 degrees but it will also show you aircrafts (what it should not).

The actual version of Ducimus fixes the SJ-Radar, which will show no more ship-contacts, but the air radar does not work at all (like in sh4 vanilla).

The guys in the mod section are working on the problem. The existing fixes are already very good stuff.
