HORUS Integrated Radar and Sonar System

Description
Description
Dalva Signal Solutions presents: the HORUS Integrated Radar and Sonar system.

As it is designed to look realistic, it does not have altitude pivot system like some other radar systems do. As such it is recommended to use it on rather large and stable ships, preferably with stabilizing system to supress excessive rolls. Its use in bad swells may produce false landmasses.

Usage
Press EN on top-right corner to enable!
For this system you will need:
A compact velocity pivot that when rotated to positive value will spin clockwise when viewed from the sky, attached to it a laser distance sensor and a compass that points to where the laser sensor is facing. This is the "Radar"
A velocity pivot (not the compact one) placed upside-down under the hull, that again when rotated will spin clockwise when viewed from the sky, attached to it is two laser distance sensor facing away from each other. Preferably make it streamline with pyramid blocks and the like so that it can rotate with less water drag. This is the "Sonar"
A 2x2 display and a ship compass facing where your ship is facing
Then plop the microcontroller, and link the logic nodes following each of their description

An example vehicle is available here

Just a suggestion with the new ability to add vertical and horizontal offsets to the lasers; i did a -0.02 offset to the sonar and a -0.01 offset to the radar to allow for a more consistent reading of the horizon and sea bed. It works really really well now. doesnt really miss as much if your ship is pitching around in the waves or nose up on plane! cheers.

Thank you so much! I could not figure out how to get sonar and radar on my ship until I came across this. Also, I think you press (e) to press EN.

How can I press EN? I can’t press it

ok

@meloeh, No it's for the old Laser Rangefinder thingy, it's the only way to detect landmasses around
@Twitchy115, Press EN

When I install this, all it does is stay on the standby screen
