Radar Scan Areas Problem

Post by Phoenix711 » 2009-03-25 13:56:55

Just realised that my THREAT CIRCLES - Radar was not working.

The RADAR flag is not enough by itself, I checked Korean TE_NEW, and set my airbase flags like it then it worked on the tactical map.

I found out that it is the FLAT flag, which is important together with RADAR flag, and 8 RADAR OCTET VALUES.

Any more info on this? Any way to automate this, or othr attrributes of objects, like Fuel etc, maybe an Export - Edit csv - Import?

BTW, TACEdit cannot create 8 octets correctly and sets all to 0,22. Is it a problem with my MEA file (Which I don't think so because I've checked it segment by segment), korean values seem normal and TACEdit sets them to 0,22 even if I use KOREAN MEA file.

Any idea / info?

Thank you...

Don't forget that mobile SAMs do not show up in threats unless they have been detected either visually (other aircraft/helo or ground unit) or via JSTARS/Recon means.

Is that the RadarScanner tool which comes with TheaterMaker? Or Something else. I'm going to try RadarScanner now.

Ok its RadarScanner.exe. It's inside TheaterMaker package. But is a seperate exe, which is not in the main theatermaker exe menu.

Seem like it calculates the 8 octet values correctly.

Thank you.
