I was told to create new topic. So here it is.

 

I have installed this plugin, and read the manual, and also watched some how to videos. Still, one thing is not clear. What triggers the radar to lock on to a vehicle? Is there a preset speed? Do you lock on manually by pressing Fast or Strong? I have been trying to use it and this is what I have done so far:

Park along a main highway, same direction as the traffic. Set it to SA and Front. I see a high red number (fast) and hit F. The radar will lock and a red blip is created. But often the red number will be there for a fraction of a second and then I lock onto a different car. Hmmm... so what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I believe it will lock onto the vehicle that's driving over the set speed limit.

It is customizable in the .ini.

You can use "auto lock" feature. By pressing the auto lock key, the "auto lock" indicator will turn on on the radar interface. If a vehicle is driving over the set speed, it will auto-lock onto that vehicle, the locked speed will remain on the "fast" screen, and an orange blip will be created for that car on the mini-map.

unitedOrange66,

 

Thanks! I even modified the ini file but never noticed the setting for auto lock.

 

Here is another question about the radar. I had some locks today. The car gets the orange blip. But when I try to pull the car over it does not pull over. It just stops. I hit left shift, the sirens... but they do not pull over. I have to hit LShift one more time. So I am getting the feeling that if there is a blip already, it needs to get canceled before I try to pull the car over. Same thing in ALPR.

It does not conflict with LSPDFR pullover. 

 

However you can turn it off in ProwlerRadar.ini: "BlipLock=False."
