little update about the radar...

started a "Open Horizons" campaign and equipped the boat with the latest/advanced radar system aviable in March 43 (FuMo-65).

...by the way some icons while fitting are not showing for some equipments, same for some "a fist full emblems" emblems, did i something wrong by installing the fist optional mod and after that Stoi`s little cheat also using fist optional mod) ???

ok... so far, leaved port and after some days, medium fog crawled up the water and i decided to switch on that nice new turning radar antenna...

...12 hours later wind at 3m/s TC drops to 1, my radar warning receiver (FuG 26 Tunis) reports radar signals detected (via message box, no sound or voice or something, would be nice to have), so i decided to manualy check the radar screen. After watching it for 2 minutes i found 2 sometimes 3 medium sized spikes, indicating a contact range of about 8,5 km, bearing 300 deg of bow. After some maneuvering and turnings i also found that the indicated contact bearing is wrong, the scale writing on the turning wheel is mirrored, so in reality the contacts had a bearing of 60 deg. (old SH3 bug ?).

...used the free cam to investigate this spikes and found a hunter / killer group, not noticing that i used my radar for 10 minutes to detect them (maybe their equipment was to old for my high resolution radar ? (which i was able to fit in March 43).

another question, may it be that the radio man isnt reporting new radar contacts because of not beeing skilled using special abilitys ? (Radar direction finder ability (which should boost radar range for him or the sensor ?) is disabled using "No Magic Skills" mod. (required entrys in messageRA.cfg are present).
