Error replacing contact's actual speed

[johnlarue]

Hi folks!
Maybe this subject is mentioned before, but I couldn't find it.
I have experienced two or three times that a message in the radiomessagebox was talking about an Error replacing contact's actual speed. It's just this message; I see no further strange things.
I know it has something to do with the speed of a ship nearby, but I do not know exactly what it means and what it does or doesn't do. And furthermore, I can continue playing the game. So I assume it's nothing serious.
Is someone so kind to explain this to me and -more important- what do I have to do about it?

well, you have already done one the best things you could: posted here.

This is related to TDW mod for the map contacts. In stock game most of the contacts reported with exact (i.e. 10kn) speed. The mod tries to make it more realistic by changing it to "Medium", etc...

I have seen the same error couple times myself, but disregarded it in the past. :damn:

Run the DbgView app before starting the game (\data\Applications). I'll send you a newer version of the mod to use that has more error checking and spits out more info when things like this happen so I can figure out why it's doing this :up:

You have a new version in your PM box :up:
