Hydrophone Guy is def

[sirbum69]

Question i have is yesterday i was 1500 M away from two ships and my hydro phone guy never called him out. only reason i knew he was there was because on my map i have there sonor cone turned on, so i saw it.

But as soon as i told him to follow nearest contact then bam he started following him. I have the SH5.exe patch installed, and i am wandering if maybe that is causing it.

Or could it be because i have MO installed. I think there is a mod in MO called Hydro fix, so could i be messing it up now that i have done the SH5.exe fix. Only other thing i can think of is that i was running at 128 time compression up till the point that i saw him, but even then after i dropped down to 1 he never once called out.

Anyone know if MO and SH5.exe wouldnt be compatable in the sence that it has that hydrophone fix in it?

SH5.exe and MO are compatible.
Some hydrophones have blind spots from 350°R to 10°R and 160°R to 200°R.
If you are operating the hydrophone yourself the hydrophone guy is almost always deaf (there a some exceptions).
If the engines are at a high RPM the hydrophone guy is allmost always deaf (there a some exceptions).
If you are surfaced and have installed TDW's no-hydrophone on surface-mod hydrophones doesn't work.

Do you have any other mods enabled? I had some problems with the second hydrophone upgrade with some equiptment mods, I couldn't hear anything when entering the hydrostation manually. Also, if ships are travelling with low speed (5-6 knots) you can't hear them. But currently my hydro is working well and most of the time I can hear the ships allright.

Na i read the post on not being able to hear them yourself. That i dont have a problem with, its the opposite to that. I can hear them just fine, my sonar guy on the other had does not.

So unless i am sitting there listening myself i will never know there is a boat out there. May as well just fire him LOL...if i have to do the work for him.

As far as for the blind spot, couldnt have been that because when i did tell him to start following the contact was on a bearing of 300. so he was like 10 oclock to the front of my boat.

I am going to test somethings today with just TDW mod only, nothing else other then the SH5.exe and see how they do.

Well it appears my sonar man works like he should with just TDW's ui only installed. So it has to be one of the other ones. Because soon as i put the others back in, he went back to being stupid again...Below is what i have installed.

Thats the order i have them in too. I thought it was the TDW no hydro at surface mod but its not in there and still he is Def. Starting to wander if it is MO or OH or maybe even IRAI

I really suggest you download the new Open Horizons II 1.5. The first versions have imported ships that don't appear in hydro! Bad thing is that you need to restart your career (or maybe install it during campaing change). My bet is that it's because of that or because of Magnum Opus.

:yep:

this was fixed in v1.3 - due to the changes in unittype - a new career is required for when moving up to v1.3
versions after v1.3 do not require restarts as they will upgrade with campaign progress

The tutorials will then work also as they are set for v1.3 and above

ahh ok i will go redownload it and see.
