Introduction:
Realistic, Reliable, and Responsive.
I am proud to present the first ever radar in SimplePlanes, I has taken several weeks to make, most of which was trying to figure out the code. This is my first FT code, and I hope you like it! This version only shows the selected target, although as it says below in Notes and Soon to Come, there will be other versions coming which will include the islands, etc.
How I made it and How it works:
This radar has lights that will show where the target is, by showing the heading and distance from it. Every light had to have it’s code entered in, an example of which is below:
clamp01(abs(deltaangle(33.75,Heading-TargetHeading))<5.625) * clamp01(TargetSelected) * clamp01(TargetDistance >= 16093.44) The lights will also only turn on when the target is selected, which gives it more realism.
Uses:
Radar is one of the most helpful tools that can be used in aircraft, sea vessels, and land vehicles for racking the enemy and finding it’s exact position.
Notes and soon to come:
I will be making better versions with more precision, etc., soon. I will also make others that show the height offset, and other radars that will also show the islands and the fleet.
It is free to use in all projects, but if you do, please upvote and give credit.

Why U Don't Use Rotator & Piston.
I used this for my Harrier That has 614 parts now, and My Airbus beluga that has around 1,000+ Parts, since I "Accidentally" mirrored it, so i have 2 Radars in my Beluga exactly.. parts count..... But it's still "Mobile Friendly". I gave credit but the Beluga Is coming "Soon"
?
thank you
thx@BagelPlane
@Jakeeeee I've got a less parts radar here
can you make one with less parts so I can put the radar on something complex and not crash the game
no way @HawaiiRanger HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE THIS!?!?
Not the first
I also have a radar. Look at this plane: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/5W39cK/As_14
this radar uses much less parts
Too bad my computer can only run it standalone without a plane lol
you're an actual genius
also, this is a monumental moment, @BogdanX has upvoted your project.

Great idea!
Does it tell you where aircrafts are or something else
I do not understand what this thing is looks like a refueler in air
Well its simply actually... just made it with clamp01(abs(deltaangle(33.75,Heading-TargetHeading))<5.625) * clamp01(TargetSelected) * clamp01(TargetDist....
you get the idea.. haha very funny mumbo jumbo reference please lik and subscrib and shair xd
Any plans to do a very crude, extremely low part-count version?
Heh. I'll tinker it later. If I do succeed, you'll be tagged.
Exactly what I was thinking @F104Deathtrap
Does it work inverted?
Have you considered using an analog rotator and piston system for this? 457 is a lot of parts, and having a single light moving around with a black background and a couple circles to mark distance would probably use fewer than 20 parts.
No disrespect, this is a staggering amount of effort and the result looks awesome.
457 parts for this little thing 😂
an excellent job, You must have spent many days doing this, I think it deserves more recognition. It is strange how stupid and non-functional constructions done in an hour receive much more recognition than this type of work. Congratulations on this excellent construction
that is truly impressive
