Crew reports contacts too late

[Petr]

I have been playing SH V for a few days and I have this problem. I see ships from bridge much earlier than my watch reports me and similar problem I have with sonarmen.
It is annoying because I can not control them all the time and do their job. Is there any mod which solves this problem? Or do you know which file can I try to edit?
Thanks for advices

I dont believe there are mods that fix that problem (i think, any1 know any mods?). I too share your opinion on the crew being blind as ray charles with a blindfold on in pitch black.

5/ use hydrophone on surface .

[Petr]

Thanks Sober
But there is one more problem. I dont want to use hydrophone on surface, but if I use any mod which solves this problem, it rewrites "UBoot_Sensors.sim" Which has already been changed by new UI and IRAI mods. Is possible to edit this file and not to rewrite it completely?
Thanks for answers

TDW said he will fix the latest IRAI so the hydrophone doesnt work on the surface . I find that with what i sugested it works fine until he fixes it .

[Petr]

But my sonarman stil reports contacts while on surface. Is there any program in which I can open .sim files?

But my sonarman stil reports contacts while on surface. Is there any program in which I can open .sim files?In TDW UI there is a no hydrophone on surface mod , put that last , i looked it should be ok even though JSGME says it overrides IRAI .

Yet another known bug since SH3...that continues today. And the devs and UBI wonder why we arent happy :nope:

If no one has suggested a mod, I suggest when on partrol that you keep your TC at or below 512.
