hello, i recently made a mod with the old radars but with 100km. i dont know if you plan to continue the project or of you still play stormworks but i would like to let you know

im anticipating the datalink

when is the B model coming?

got damn boy

This radar works for airborne creations. The range is limited because it was designed or use with the legacy radars.

I have two questions:
1: should i pick your airborne version on a plane?
2: is there a way to have a longer range?

D: im telling their mum !

Unfortunately not. Since the devs removed the ability to manually adjust the beam, this system isn't really possible to make with the new radars.

is there a version like this but with the new radars

all good, thank you for the response tho! i greatly appreciate it :D i hope there will be a radar like this for the new radars soon, be perfect for easily finding the refueling plane

That is normal. It was a feature that I was planning to add, but then the new radars came out and kind of suspended my development. Don't worry about dlink, sorry for confusion.

*dlink

says dling fail for me from your fresh example, please help

is there any radar similar to this but in either a 3x3 or 1x1

There is not

is there a version with the radar tilted to the left?

It should be able to work while tilted, but due to the limitations of how radars are implemented in Stormworks, the accuracy decreases the more it is tilted.

how can i make this work so the radar is on it's side?

Sad this won't be updated but its pretty nice

It is top-down. The closer to the bottom of the screen, the closer the target.

is this top down? or like a camera?

Probably not unless the devs re-add the ability to control the radar yaw and pitch dynamically. This style of radar wouldn't work without it with the new radar blocks, sorry.

any plan on updating this?

Yes i second this!

Suddenly, every radar system is outdated.
I hope to see a new version compatible with the new Advanced Radar blocks soon.

I will follow your career with great interest!

Was thinking about making a replacement of this radar, or a new longer-range surveillance radar to replace (or compliment) the TPS-8A. Haven't decided yet.

whats the next radar your gonna make?

I will potentially work on a proper data-link system to integrate with this radar, but I don't have plans for any significant work on this radar unfortunately.

Hey Jim. I was wondering if you have any future plans for expansion on this module ?

Alrighty, thanks a lot!

Ok, I implemented a fix. I changed the target selection range from 0-100 to 1-100. It should no longer be possible to enter Quick Lock mode while target selection is set to target #0. The downside to this is it means in normal track mode it will always have one target selected.

Ok I think I found the bug. Cycling the target select # to target #0 while in Quick Lock mode caused it to fail to unlock. Working on a fix now. A workaround until I track down the cause would be to click the Right Target Select button which should allow it to unlock. I'll let you know when I track down the cause of the problem, thanks.

Ok I will look into it further, thanks

It happens with the quick-lock function when I change the mode to the narrow mode. The lock button wasn't even pressed and yes it is a push button. The same issue is happening to multiple friends of mine.

I wasn't able to replicate the issue. Make sure the lock button is a push button and not a toggle button. Do you have any specific info on when this issue occurs?

I will investigate.

Hey Jim, I'm having issues un-locking my targets. Pressing any of the buttons (including the screen) seem to not unlock it. Am I doing something wrong?

The way radars are implemented in Stormworks makes the accuracy of single-beam radars less than perfect. This radar is designed to somewhat mimic how radars work in real life (single sweeping beam) as opposed to how most people do it in Stormworks (two 90 degree offset radars). It is possible that there is a math error somewhere, but I think it's stemming from just the limitations of the radar modeling.

Whenever I try and use the data link function, it always seems to be that the X coordinate is a little off. Is this just a limitation of stormworks radar/sonar or a limitation of getting target GPS coordinates from radar information?

Thank you thank you

Im also keeping a close eye on this nifty project. Keep up the good work!

Sorry I forgot to mention the datalink is not implemented yet and on the bit page it is just a placeholder.

What do i need to pass the datalink test?

@Jim We have a Stormworks Radar & Guidance discord with a handful of folks working on various things. We'd love to have you join us! If you're interested, hit me up on Discord @Kep#1817

Thanks a bunch man!

This is absolutely killer work Jim. Keeping an eye on this project.

Yes. The selected/locked target's x,y, and altitude are output on the composite output line. The GPS data isn't perfect but the more stable the radar is, the more accurate the targeting data.

so im wondering if i would be able to lock targets and then send its gps to a missle. would that be possible?

Cheers!
