The radio bug still seems to be there. After loading a save the radio starts broadcasting the news from the beginning of the patrol all over again... :cry:

Can somebody confirm?

No but if you make a note of the time when the sun rises well it will pretty much come up at the same time the next day :know: I watch the time and dive about an hour before sunrise.

Yes. The "come to an all stop when reloading a saved game" bug is still there as well.

There is a digital clock on the lower right. I use that. If telling time is the only reason for the watch in TC, I'd rather not see it. My X key is gonna need replacing.

Ive always preferred analog timepieces (shrug).

I don't read it terribly well at 8192 TC (or whatever the rate is).

I could never see the digital clock, Old Fart Eyesight, or 19" crt to small, or both.

The time that is posted is the 24 hour clock. Sorry I am venting but it is the most reliable one. At 0550hrs, it's 5:50 AM. It is not brain surgery folks...add or subtract 12 hours and you're golden. My watch has the 24 hr clock included, so my slovak brain has less to adjust to.:rock:

The deckgun
 
Has anyone already used the deckgun with 1.3? Apparently something has changed according to some info in another thread.

Up to now(V1.2)it was playing "war plan orange"*,now after installing V1.3 the war has begun!

On the bridge i'm verry happy to see the a$$ of my boat at last(free 360° view with bino's):up:

*World War 1 has come and gone and the world has settled into an uneasy peace. Fearful of the growing strength of Japan between 1922-1930, the United States created a series of plans in case of a pacific war with Japan. Their name: War Plan Orange.

Sonar Station. Note how the green warning light glows when your hydrophones have picked up a contact and the new switches & placards for the various functions that can be performed at this station. Notepad position is the new default:

Stock SH-4 clock time is "Base Time" and have the correct time for the timezone you have spawned in 3d in. So if you started docked at PEARL HARBOR your time is the timezone for PEARL. If you started at Brisbain your BaseTime is Brisbain time.

The clock will keep the BaseTime no matter where you sail aka. there are no undergraduates that will set the time to what ever timezone your in. So you will have to calculate Base Time to local time to know the correct Sun Rise and Sets....

Much more about that in the Real Navigation in SH-4 thread.

Please understand that this was neccessary in order to avoid some bugs that happened when the submarine entered the 3D world at full speed.

So it's a "feature" that's here to stay.

PS: I believe you when you say it annoys you, but I also believe is not such a big annoyance.

Well if that's the case, then that's fine by me. I'd rather take a small annoyance over a large bug. :up:
