[WIP] SJ Radar Mod version 2

A bit of feedback here:

In the version I have tested, the numbers for range didn't show up when using the 1.4 version of the game. In SH5 they worked well, though.

I therefore did some testing in 1.5 (No other mods installed except your radar mod) and first impression is that the contact dots are a bit too large. :hmm: It becomes difficult differentiating contacts on close bearings.

Also -this happens already in the stock game- many times the A-Scope doesn't show a clear return while the PPI shows a clear contact, making it difficult to use the scale for determining distance when over 10.000 metres.

I will play a mission with a single ship and try to plot it before actually trying to plot a convoy -which is right now much more complicated- and will report.

FYI I'm using a plot in paper, not the game map, and do it with Kim Ronhoff's ruler for radar plotting. Will try to put a photo of the resulting plot when I have it
