Petes are noted... After reaching radar depth, in some of the boats you sometimes have to come up another couple-three feet to get the radar to come back on, dependent upon sea state. Also, if the plane is already "in visual" range, your periscope will pick it up, and you will NOT get a radar contact report... A very frustrating limitation of the game... One way to "see" is to put your scope up and look at the nav map as you get to the Periscope Depth area, as your boat comes on up. If you "see" a triangle coming your way, "Crash Dive! Crash Dive!"...

You should already have the radar onboard (except maybe the "S" boats), though you'll not see a 3D "set" drawn on your boat - ANOTHER limitation of the game (where are you SH1??) - sorry, mini-rant there... The "sets" you see on the radar screen are both SJ... Anyway, next patrol, go ahead and click on the Radar On / Off button, or hit the <T> key, and see if you don't get a "Turning SD Radar On" message in the text box. Another limitation of the game is that there is no way to indicate that you have the radar turned on or off, other than by hitting the key or button, and checking the message displayed in the text box... so sad. Also, I'm beginning to think that we might have too many Pete's poking their noses in too many US Fleetboats' business...

In the Main.cfg is this:
[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=4
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=128;1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=8
RadioReport=8
Particles=8
PrayState=8
HunterState=32
3DRender=32
Maximum=2048
So it has not been changed. If you don't do a "clean" re-install, into an empty folder, you won't overwrite all of the files, or if there was anything left in the Save folder from another mod, you can end up with what I call "cross-contamination"...
