I installed this Old game today in my Old PC, and there is somethings i never understood about this game. Mainly its the ALT+R Radar modes. Can some one please explain what each of these Modes does?
Yellow (passive?) .5km Radar, Green .5km Radar, and Green 1km Radar
Also a new mode appears when equipped with the C3 master Computer, a Green 2km Version.
What are these mods, and what are the advantages?

IIRC, the first green radar is normal. Yellow is passive mode which makes you harder to detect on the radar. I believe the last radar helps with LRMs. I believe they all have a pro and a con. We never really used those too much in league play. Passive mode was helpful for a flame boat or a small fast mech who didn't have missles.

I haven't used these in a very long time, so I will check them out later to verify. However, as I recall, the yellow is passive radar which means you can't be detected beyond the .5 km limit, but neither can you detect other mechs...however in both 'Mech3 and Pirate's Moon the AI characters can still detect you. If used in multiplayer you would still show up on enemy radar.
I believe the .5 green radar is active radar but limits your ability to see beyond .5 km, and in theory you're supposed to show up as a "yellow center dot" threat on enemy radar but they still in theory don't see you beyond .5 km, however as I said before, the AI characters in the game do see you anyway. The only time they don't see you is if they're beyond 1000 meters.
The 2 Km radar with c3 computer I'll have to check that out as I have never seen this.
