Bdu Radio Contact Reports Issue

Alepou340 · 05-10-18, 11:51 PM

Hello fellow captains,
I need to get exact reading of enemy convoy headings from radio contacts apart from range and their speed. But unfortunately my sh5 does not give me that info except some generic and aproximate heading like (Course: SSE). Is there a way to be able to make my navigatior give this bearing i need?

Note: Im using WoS 2.0.0 and in some of my recent campaigns all of a sudden this came into the reports tab 'Radio Report Recieved! Enemy Large Convoy,Long 1° 03" E, Lat 55° 10" N, Course 126,Speed 11 KTS!' but never appeared again since.

What is going on?

Thank you.

Thank you very much this is really helpfull!
I do experience some technical issues yet again though

I've watched your step-by-step video for Options File Editor on youtube. Everything updates normally exept the 'Show contact's actual course vice relative course (E, ENE, SE, S, etc.)' and the 'Show contact's actual speed vice relative speed (slow, medium, fast ,etc)' option which I set to TRUE and save it (saves it successfully). But when i load my campaign save, radio contact reports shown in captains log continue to give me quadrant bearings.

Since I dont want to open a new thread i will just use this one.

I am playing the Wolves of Steel with Real Navigation enabled.

I really love it but i have one question. Is it possible to mark the position of a convoy on the map when a radio contact reports is received by the BDU, even when playing with Real Navigation?

I just watched this video but my navigator is not marking the position of the convoy on the map after we received a radio contact report by be BDU...

You can see what i mean in second 30.
