selecting sensors on specific unit in a group

[Agathosdaimon]

Is it at all possible to just turn on the radar or such for just say one ship in a group or one aircraft? I thought this might be a sound precautionary thing to do, but it doesnt seem to be an option any where - and if not, can it be made possible?

You can do that in unit view.

[Agathosdaimon]

yes, - do you mean the view through formation editor - i just found that and once in the formation editor its very easy then to choose what i want to switch on and off. thank you

No he means unit view. You can toggle between unit and group view using the page up key and also I think with 9 on the numpad.

[smudge56]

yes you are correct number 9 on the numpad.

Exactly.

Break your group up in units using PG UP or 9 on numpad. Next select the individual unit. This unit can now receive detailed orders (via right-click context menu or "sensor" button on the right-side info panel) as to which sensors to activate.
