Hydrophone man not working at all

[themoffster]

Hi.
I have installed the following mods

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157
[C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS]

Trevally Automated Scripts v0.6
and am playing with 100% realism.
I just started my first mission (after upgrading my hydrophones to the ones that require 2000 renown) and i was amazed to find an aircraft carrier on my first patrol.
However, the hydrophone man always tells me i have no contacts, even though i can see an aircraft carrier and all the destroyers associated with it just of my starboard bow.
I should point out this is when i am submerged as the mod above explicitly disables the hydrophones on the surface.

Is there something i should be doing to make him work properly?

Hi themoffster

Have you patched the sh5.exe?

If not, go here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181433

Hi. Yes I have done that. I changed the value from false true but didn't change anything relating to the colours

[Atilla]

Hmmm. Did you order the sonar operator to follow nearest warship, or was he doing normal sweeps?

[themoffster]

Both. It just said no contact and no contact on <heading>

Both. It just said no contact and no contact on <heading>

That one I haven't seen before. Sounds like he did have a contact, otherwise the "on heading" part makes no sense.

However, I have on ocasions experienced that my navigator fails to (verbally) report depth under keel (no report added to the log either). And in a few instances I went on the bridge, seing smoke on the horizon, but the watch crew never reported a contact.
From what I understand, this is caused by a load error (on game start).

I'm thinking maybe this is what you have come across here?
As far as I can tell, your MOD setup is fine. I would install the IRAI before the New UI, but I don't think this is related to your issue.

Edit: Just checked, you did it right, the New UIs should be installed first. my bad :)

[themoffster]

So anyone any ideas?
It makes the game pretty hard to play if you need to visually see all contacts.
