Radar on planes

I was wondering what would happen if you enable radar on planes in the SEOW DB?
So for instance, let's say around 1942 the Swordfish is upgraded with radar as was historically the case at Malta & is given a 1 value in the DB (which I presume is the short range version of radar i.e. 30km)

Would SEOW then report contacts within 30km of such a plane when in flight through the radar screen?

Also, does radar pick up ships or will it only return planes?

Thanks!

Hi Petr,

The Radar flag in Object_Specifications only indicates which objects have hard-coded radar functionality inside HSFX. You cannot force other objects to have functionality by changing the Radar flag value from 0 to 1.

I cannot remember if the radar function extends to detection of surface objects, but I suspect not.
