Scrum Half radar SA-15- not working.

Game version 1.06.1328.18 - the problem is that the radar does not turn on in the SA-15.
As you can see from screenshot 2, the check mark on the radar is on, but on the right panel, the radar is in PASSIVE mode.
Screenshot 1 - shows that the target of the SA-15 was detected only by the TV camera sensor.
During the test, SA-15 from different countries were used, as well as different versions of the SA-15 itself - the radar does not work...

I'd suggest that you perform the same test with a different db. If it doesn't happen there, then it's a db issue.
Also, if you want to take it a step further, install 1328.17 (or a version from before that) and you can further isolate and identify the problem.

Thanks for the answer. I will try to find the cause of the error...

Passive does not mean off.
It means it does not emit. This is the passive radar wiki article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_radar
And this is the Tor article, where it is said that:
Code: Select all
The target engagement radar is a G band/H band (later K band) pulse doppler radar with an (in azimuth) passive electronically scanned array antenna.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_missile_system
However in the specific article linked, the radar is emitting?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_e ... nned_array
If you click on the box "Inherit from Parent" in the units in which is not selected, the blue passive disappears.
Passive or active it is not working, the white circles (air sensors) are absent.
I tried with build 9 and db v501 and the result is the same.
However if you mark the MiG as hostile, The Scrum Half starts detecting it (once you activate the radar).

PESA =/= Passive Radar, that is two different concepts.
PESA emits.

The Role of the Radar is FCR (Fire Control Radar) only, that means the radar can not be used to perform Air Searchs, only can illuminate targets that are already detected by any other sensor.

According to the characteristics of the SA-15, it has 2 different radars, the first one is a target sighting (on top that rotates in a circle), and the front one is a missile guidance radar. In previous versions of the SA-15 game, he found the target himself and fired at it himself.

It's probably the same problem.
