What is Orange semi-cicle

[ZL2BMH]

Hello All.

The large circle is, as I understand it is sonar distance, inside that, nearer the opponents ship is an orange semi-circle, what does that mean?

In the chart room I often find two thin blue lines coming at different angles from my boat when moving, what does that represent?

Hi Z
The answer to your questions as to what you see can also be found in the Nav and TAI tabs in TDW's Option File Editor Viewer (OFEV).
The lines would be hydrophone contacts.
Not knowing what your game setup is regarding mods if any being used and your game play settings you can also experience hydrophone contacts that can be seen in the nav map while traveling on the surface.
If you are using a version of TDW' NewUI 7-4-2- or 7-5-0 then you can make changes in the OFEV as showing in the picture.

He might not know how to do those things since a fellow gamer set it up for him.

The orange semi circle is the ship's visual range and the blue lines are hydro contacts.

Thank you all for your answers. Yes, the mods were added for me by a wonderful helper called KYLANIA. He used TDW mods.

All understood now, thanks again.
