[Help] - Aircraft warning radar stops working

May or may not be related to what you're reporting, but there seems to be an oddity with 1.4 - or perhaps it's one of the mods... not sure - regarding SD RADAR.

When the aircraft is beyond visual range you get an indicator on the map (a square) showing where the bogies is. However, as soon as it comes within visual range, the RADAR indicator disappears... and where before we had the triangle indicating visual aircraft sighting, now there's nothing. It's as if it disappears.

I'm guessing that "ship" you were chasing was actually an aircraft on RADAR... and when it disappeared, it was because it was now in visual range.

And easy way to tell is to click on the square RADAR sighting icon on the map. If it says VERY FAST, that's an airplane.
