View Full Version : IXD Sonar Error?

I was cruising around in my IXD shortly after getting some upgrades. I hop into external view to enjoy watching my boat roll in the sea. I slide under to view the lower half of the hull and I saw an aweful picture. The sonar that connects to the underside of the hull along the keel does not match up with the boat. There are big gaps in it from the hull, now I know it didn't look like this before, as I usually sail in the big boats and am always running with external active. So I was just wondering if my system has gone freaky on me since GWX or if this might be a minor eye-candy future correction? I would post a picture but I don't really have a clue how to do that.

This is a stock bug. Its something to do with the 3d modeling. That hydrophone unit fits perfectly onto a type 7, but the type9 is botched.

Ok, I was wondering. This was my first assignment with the D model and just received the sonar. So this was my first chance to see it. thanks for the reply!

I have the same problem :hmm: my sonar (not hydrophone) is reported destroyed the minute I leave harbour, the minute the game is started actually. Another annoying thing is that everytime I receive sonar equipment, the nibelung device, and things get a bit hectic during an attack,then suddenly when I enter the sonar station, it is all black, nothing in there, I can see the walls , but everything else is either black or gone, including the captain's quarters....all. This happens no matter if it's a type VII or IX or XXI, and usually with the more modern devices such as the Balkon Gerät or Nibelung, I do not know which one of them who causes it, I know that one of them is a hydrophone and the other a sonar......but it's annoying :damn: . Some times I wonder if SHIII was made for the happy days only, everything is fine untill one starts to install the more modern sensors......

The sonars haven't got a 3d model, are you talking about the balkon gerat (hydrophone)?, please post a picture to see exactly what is the problem.

Could someone give me a quick class on how to post here. Have never done it before so I got no clue. :oops:

I always thought it was a problem with my installation. Good to clear that up. I also have blinking lights in the IXC’s bridge.

The problem with the 3d object will be solved on the GWX patch 1.02.
