Load the game. Radar is on, its sweeping, but its not picking up anything. Radar contacts are gone. Its like after having loaded a game something went wonky. Worked fine up until then. Anyone run into this? I seem to run into this quite often. Is there a work around to get it working again? Or is this a "wait for next patch" scenario?

I've found out that the SD radar is better at picking up ships than picking up planes. At the beginning of a patrol the SD radar picks up every ship and most of the planes, but towards the end it still picks up the ships but but nearly no planes. I only know that planes are around when my watch crew reports them, usually 10 seconds before they bomb me.
