The lines you see while on the surface of the water is the radar detector picking up the active radar from airplanes and warship. Black is airplane, red is warship radar.

I think for gameplay reasons, if it is possible - I try it tonight, to limit the MinHeight of radar detection to mostly picking up airplanes...may pick up medium large warships if they are very close.

Do not worry about not seeing warships, You can use your active radar all the time and see them through heavy fog. The manual claims using your radar will tip off warships, but the warships are not installed with any radar detectors (they are there but were set to NULL as if not finished -Ubisoft shoved this game out too early).

Maybe radar detectors can be added in to warships. Easy enough just a text edit to the warships' SNS file. They may actually work then, or not. I will enable them, if I can, so that using your active radar full time will bring you trouble.

Well, at least we know a way to see the airplanes coming from far away, plus set your TC to 1x and it will drop out of high TC when a radar signal is detected.

I think my next is to tone down the radar detectors some? and limit them to airplanes only.

This will go really good if Manuel Ortega can get the visual world bigger to 20 km. That is on the Mod forum. I been posting here, I guess when I get a decent balance, I will post an official thread on the Mod forum. You guys are my beta testers.

Ahh yes...saw that last night. When you see the square or triangle with tail..that is either a VISUAL sighting or Active Radar contact (actually a active radar contact will look like it is done in Pencil lead when zoomed in, and REd/black when zoomed out of nav map).

I never ran with active radar on because I was afraid it would give away my position.

Now...back to Radar DETECTION. I would still think warships set off the detector...but only as far as there is a line of sight to the warships active radar. (10,000m??)
