Hawk Site Won't Fire (1.5b and 2.0a)

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if the requirements for a working Hawk SAM site have changed since 1.2, but I can't get a Hawk site to fire. I've attached a mission created in 1.5 and another in 2.0. The same setup works fine in 1.2.x

 

The AI AN-26 just circles around the "expert" Hawk's engagement zone with impunity.

I forget which patch added it, but the hawk site has two new objects available to it. One is just another search radar, I'm not that clear on the differences between it and the old radar, but either are required for use. The other object the PCP is now required for the Hawk to fire. Any existing mission with a hawk site needs to be modified so that the pcp object is in the group.

Thanks, Grimes!

 

I added the PCP unit and that works in my test missions now. I'll submit a pull request on CTLD with a patch for that... been trying to figure out why the Hawk site CTLD cargos weren't working.
