For a Ship radar try the following :-

AVSIM Library - FSX gauges - sort by date.

Advanced Radar System ( ARS4 )

Did you get the Ship capable radar from Avsim ?

Let us know how it is going , I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in a radar that detects
surface AI ships.

Cool .
I'd be interested in you opinions on it.

I have created a radar for my F-111 and it displays AI aircraft , you can select a specific AI and Lock it up.
I would love to add ships to it eventually .

Why don't ships appear as AI aircraft?

I don't have any AI ships installed but it seems to me that they would be programmed as AI aircraft with zero altitude. As such they should appear on TCAS gauges.

This is unlike the aircraft carriers that come with the sim and are programmed as airports. They appear as airports in the GPS and in FS Navigator but they do not appear on my TCAS gauge.

I dont see those in my GPS in FSX i remember a carrier off jacksonvill Fl in 2004 that did show on the GPS but it was stationary so i can see how it was programmed as an airport...
