It means that your implementation of the hydro follow order works properly only when our sub is facing nord. In any other case it gives wrong results... :yep:

- after locking the target on periscope and activating the order from officers order bar, I receveid confirmation of it on the messagebox. I was expecting to receive regular updates on the contact in the same messagebox, but after a while I realized that I had to go to hydrostation and to read myself the bearing. I think we can survive with it, but it would be cool having also a log on the contact, possibly written and spoken, like the one we receive with the order "follow nearest contact".

- As we said the day before yesterday, besides locking on visual targets, I was expecting also to be able to set a bearing on the hydrophone, for acquiring the the contact closest to that direction. Indeed using that method we risk not to pick the right contact, but what if we want to follow a contact out of sight? Is it possible to add another option for doing it?

- when we are out of the hydro station, the sonarman keeps on with any other task he had been given before: normal sweeping, following nearest target, etc. Could you make him to stop doing so, for focusing 100% on his current duty? :D

As far as selecting nearest contact from hydro I'm going to add that, just haven't done it yet

Once you leave the hydro station the hydro sensor takes control of the hydro needle. Thus there's no way for me to 'lock it' on the selected contact's bearing

Sorry for asking but I would to know before downloading...

Yes I can add this quite easily but can I ask why? I don't see how this would be useful/used :06:

If the contact changed very slowly, then this would suggest it was moving slowly or very far away.
If it changed fast - it is fast or close to you.
So this may be helpful information:yep:

TDW, i'd like to use your add-on mod "No_Hydrophone_On_Surface_No_Aircraft_Spotting_1_1 _0" but it overwrites uboat_sensor.GR2 and uboat_sensor.sim: is it compatible anyway?

Thankyou!

I think the range should be as far as you can hear it:hmmm:

20km for single ship and 60km for whole convoy.
I think the range of the hydro that we can hear in sh5 is 30km (you may be able to tell us?)

So perhaps 20 to 30km would be good.
Would it be possible to have this up to say 50km but a % chance of losing the contact:hmmm:

I had thought I had no more problems with the mod, but now I am unable to plot a course on the map or through the navigator, and the maps no longer have my submarine as an icon. *sigh*

Any ideas?
