Radar sweep "hiccups" near 0 bearing

[Admiral8Q]

I guess the radar in SH1 was way more 'historical' I used that thing to death.

Too bad there isn't a solution to the radar sweep hiccuping. In some ways, I'm glad it's not just me. Otherwise, it might have been me who needed to lay off the sauce in the medicine cabinet.

Curious thing, is that it *was* working properly in 1.4! If the 361 degree circle is the problem, then perhaps it can be changed to a 360 degree circle? I saw some settings in, I think it was Sensors_sub_US, a "bearing" node under certain sensors marked "radar". Nisgeis, I believe I've seen you post a lot regarding the SH4 radar (and mods), maybe you know if this is possible?

Also ... some people mentioned inconsistencies between what is clicked on and what you actually get, e.g. with regard to depth. I notice some inconsistency with headings that are given in the message box versus those that are spoken. So, if I select some heading on the compass, the message box might say, "Set course 113" but crew voice will say, "Set course 116". It's almost always different, and off by two or three degrees.

Hence the usefulness of the TBT and its ability to transmit bearing information to the TDC.

Wait...
It was working in 1.4? Someone should check that out if they know what files controlled radar and maybe find that we could replace the 1.5 ones with that...
