[FIXED DB v445] Missing Yellow Air to Surface Range Rings for some aircraft

[Kitchens Sink]

I will attach a save after I get back to my other computer and construct a test scenario.

The aircraft missing Air to Surface (yellow) range rings seem to include (so far):

J-11BH Flanker B (DB #4446)
Su-30MKM Flanker G (DB #3783)

There may be others, but not sure.

These are both combined Air/Air and Air/Surface radars. The Air/Air rings show, but turning the Air Sensor rings off in Map Settings leaves no yellow Air/Surface sensor rings.

This is V1.1, Build 825

Do they have another sensor that matches the range or a dual range sensor? If so is the other ring showing?

Thanks

Both planes have multi-mode Air/Air and Air/Surface radars. Turning the Air Sensor setting off in Map Settings and leaving the Surface Sensors setting checked, usually that produces only a Yellow Range Ring showing the surface sensor detection range...at least that's what I remember. I'm not showing the yellow ring anymore.

Let me whip up a test scenario so I don't have y'all chasing ghosts.

My Bad.

The two planes I mentioned show Sensors/EW Notes as "Radar, FCR, Air-to-Air & Air-to-Surface", but the Abilities section says "Air Search, Range Information, Altitude Info, Speed Information, Heading Info"

So they really don't have much (or any) Air-to-Surface detection capabilities. I let the "Notes" section of the description fool me.

Please disregard.

Now worries. Glad its solved.

Hm this is a database error. Fixed DB v445, good catch!

[Kitchens Sink]

Ok, thanks Emsoy.

Just curious....was the DB error that the planes should really have surface/ground search capability, or was it that the Radar description in the Notes was bad and they really only have Air-Air radars? Just wanted to know for the purposes of building out a scenario.

Thanks!

Yes they were supposed to be surface-search capable [8D]
