Hi! Although Heatblur will live through DCS history books as the first company ever providing a functional AG radar in an addon, it's not more than a band aid using a back door in the SDK not originaly thought for that. It has notorious limitations, like the imposibility to detect any structure (including runways), any civilian traffic (including oil tankers) and mismatching radar returns (for example, showing forests and water bodies in exactly the same colors - it didn't happen in 1.5). Only certains vehicles can be detected (only because they are in some sort of definition list somewhere) without taking into account if they are under vegetation or behind a building.
It seems that Viggen's radar is very prone to changes on the visual core, which it's very undesirable in the long term. Plus, ED SDK will soon add a proper AG radar modelling that should overcome all these limitations and will be properly supported regardless major changes in the simulator.
Does HB have plans to move AG Radar to new technology when available? Or may they improve the AG radar when the F-14 is out? I would like to know HB's plans to keep up to date this very important sensor in the viggen in the months to come.
