Playing Showcase: Ford class, there is a surface contact northwest of the Ford that turns out to be a cargo ship. However, the MQ-25 drone with the maritime surveillance loadout is completely unable to ID it. The attached save game has the drone at 12000 feet (well below cloud cover) at night, but I've had the drone circle over the contact at 1000 feet in broad daylight and it was still unable to ID the contact. Other air assets can ID the cargo ship without any problem. I think there's some kind of problem with the MQ-25's EO/IR loadout.

Playing Command v1.05, build 1307.18. Database DB 3000 v497a.

Are you talking about Bandit #1? Thats the only one I see airborne and it has a tanker loadout.

Bandit #7 is 200 miles NW of the Ford, almost on top of the skunk.

Found it. The Generic IR sensor is db ID 5771. Its definitely not working. I swapped it out for Generic IR sensor 1st gen db ID #5770, and the ship gets picked up immediately.

Same with the Generic TV camera.

The better way to test this is try with a unit that has the exact same cameras. That means matching the db IDs.
