what were my radar guys doin??? is this a known issue? also, visibility was reported as excellent with clear skies (daytime) yet there a fog which meant i could barely see 500 metres!

im usin the lastest RFB along with the real environment mod.

What was the weather like? I have had really bad weather affect radar performance.
