Contact Messages

[Sandman_28054]

I know the message flashes when Bdu or certain messages come in.

However, convoy contact messages which appear in "Captians Log" (K) I don't get and have to vheck routinely, especially now that I'm in the Artic Convoy sceanrio.

Is there a way to get alerts as to when these Contact messages come in rather than checking the (K) button all the time?

Do you use the NewUIs?
If you use it you can change the range value from the sub on new radio contact report.. you can change it in the game and via OptionsFileEditorViewer in the tab Radio also..

If the range is less than this value you will receive a report in the message log/box and not only in the captain's log..

Can we do it while mods activated?

I always do it when the mod is enabled.. :yep:
for me, it's easier and more comfortable.. and there is no need to disable all mods when you have to change one setting.. and then furthermore save file-TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py as a separate..

BUT.. all the above is just my opinion and like I personally do..

Okay, better than nothing. :)

I used to miss a lot of those reports, and when I finally I noticed them, it was too late :shifty:
