[NO REPRO] 1868 - Adding a Sensor to a Unit adds it 360 Degrees despite Arc

Post by TempestII »

Bug Report

Game Version:
1868

Issue
Adding (some) Sensors to a Unit adds it 360 Degrees despite Arc chosen in the Scenario Editor "Sensors" window. In the scen and screenshot I've attached, I added the APG-77 NATF radar and the ALERT IRST to just the frontal arcs of the AST F-14E. However, both of these are able to looking 360 degrees around the unit. This doesn't seem to happen with every sensor as I also added the AIM-152 MATI, which did obey the arcs I set.

Thanks for the heads up. We checked and compared with the current development build, and this issue seems to be resolved at the moment (probably fixed indirectly by one of the many other fixes in the meantime). It should work correctly on the next update release.

Have you tried adding those sensors to a unit with no sensors and check the arcs ?

I have now and it seemed to have worked correctly. It's certainly a strange issue as I added an APG-85 to a B-21 when it had other sensors, and it defaulted to 360 degrees. But without any sensors it adds to the correct arcs.

I was unable to repro the issue using the same build, so not sure if it was some kind of weird glitch or maybe you double clicked and added by error a 360 arc.
