I was testing USA-186 KH-12 Improved Crystal US satellite (#11) and could not get it detect ground targets. I also tested it with ships but no ship was detected. KH-12 satellites have visual recon frame camera max range 100, but they fly 700 km. IRL these birds can have 15 cm resolution.

Any news that we get these spy satellites work? Or am I doing something wrong.

Only thing I could think of might be the weather

Best bet would be to post a save file where you expect a detection and we will take a look

FWIW KH12 should not really be affected by weather all that much.
But it does give a good argument for weather to change in a longer scenario... waiting a day for cloud cover to go away is one thing, waiting forever (the entire scenario) for it, something else entirely.

One thing I'm planning as an optional module for Joint Command is for weather to change slightly every turn.

Hello,

Is this for a scenario under construction?

Yes, this is scenario under construction. Weather level 0, clear, default. Here's save game.

This time I'm using USA-129 satellite (same group of satellite). It flies over several ground targets but fails to spot them all.

What I'm trying to create is scenario where spy satellite spots some possible terrorist buildings/infantry. Then use drone to identify targets. Also shadowing moving truck and finally blow some things up. My previous saved scenario crashes and never recovered. So this is totally new version, very little done so far. Just trying things before making rest of the scenario.
