Radar has quit working

rpembert · 12-10-16, 07:04 PM

Hi guys,
I am running RFB + RSRD and am using the Balao in late '43. Well, I went out on a patrol like always and the radar was working fine. On the next patrol my radar has stopped functioning.

The radar is on but will not pick up enemy ships but it will pick up ships when I come back into port. Visual is the only way I can pick up enemy ships.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Joshua

Joshua, have you actually gone to the radar screen to see if it is sweeping normally and showing contacts there? RFB has a very screwy plotting system and if you zoom in too far contacts vanish from the nav map.
So first verify that the actual radar scope isn't working right. And does it sweep or show no sign of life whatever?

Thanks Rockin! I had to go and turn it up to 80,000yrds and set it to sweep. I have no idea why it went to the other setting. I had changed nothing to make that happen. Hope my problem can help others.

Thanks again,
Joshua

And you've to do that every time you load the game.Also remember to switch it in "sweep" mode.
