Hello fellow SubSimmers,

Please help me figure out this DW problem I'm having. Often when I assign a tracker to a contact on my cylindrical array, broadband station, in an Akula, the contact doesn't show up in the Waterfall display. Why is this? What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated,

Your talking about the DEMON waterfall right? Only Sphere and TA can be displayed on DEMON.

I'm assuming, like TLAM, that you're refering to the DEMON display...

There is a bug in DW that prevents the Akula from getting DEMON information for a contact originally marked in NB and later marked in BB, unless the contact is DROPPED. Sometimes, simply removing the NB tracker is enough, but 9/10 times the contact must be dropped to get DEMON info.

TLAM, the cylindrial array is the Russian equivalent of the spherical array. :know:

i get this all the time its annoying i have to drop contact after contact and with the high levels of traffic when transiting out of port thats not good

Thanks guys, yeah that's an annoying bug, I hope they fix it in the next patch.

Another thing I'd like to see if possible would be for the TMA station to "remember" the information you plug in for a given solution for each contact. What I mean is, say I plug in a speed of 8 knots for a given contact's solution, then enter a different speed for a second contact's solution, then return to the original, the second contact's solution is the one entered and I have to go back and plug in 8 knots again! It's not only frustrating but leads to confusion on the Nav map as far as my estimation of contact locations.
