Screwing with your system date or installing a 3rd party mod to fix a deliberately (yes, it was deliberate) broken module is not a fix. No matter how well done the mod is (it is, really. Budgie, if you're interested https://github.com/slasher84/budgie/releases/tag/1.0.0.2). It's a work around and it's what you do to keep dead software running.
So the radar is broken, with no official fix, and we won't be getting one from RB. ED will have to spaghetti a fix in there and call it official (which is planned, but delayed)..
Jamie makes Budgie... Just sayin'

The mod works well and I can enjoy my F-15E. And the ED fix will be very welcome.

 

Happiness is the art of the possible. If it is possible for me to enjoy my Strike Eagle with it's  groovy radar working, I'm fine with that.

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

How was it deliberately broken? I was under the assumption that RB wasn't providing anything along the lines of patches or updates. So who threw the "monkey wrench" into the latest patch?

One of the Razbam radar devs admitted on Reddit that he had deliberately put in his code (and told Razbam at the time) a "kill switch" (for lack of a better term) to stop the radar from functioning without affecting the rest of the module to ensure RAZBAM paid him.  It's been in the code for some time, not something that was inserted recently, but activated on a specific date in June this year.

My assessment is it was in play long before the last patch, it only happened to activate within days of the patch by coincidence and the proof it was based on local time is an online Squadron’s resident Australian had the issue before his mates. Concurrently there was a code signing certificate issue and that’s when Anti-Virus started precision strikes on Mudhen.

Not allocating blame or wanting to wander into the middle of the dispute, merely stating it’s incredibly unlikely the patch caused the issue from my perspective.

Budgie doesn’t touch the code signing issue, merely lies about the date to the Mudhen, your AV will still happily take out the DLL without an exception in place in settings.

Clarify what Budgie doesn’t do.

@jamie_c Oh ok, I gotchya. I honestly didn't know and I'm not savvy on that type of thing. Thanks for that workaround, I really like the SE and have been REALLY puked out with the customers being used as pawns and leverage.
