Good advice Vikinger, Yeah it was a weird glitch.

I first noticed it way out and well into my second patrol as that's when I made my first save. I then reloaded the 2nd patrol from Pearl and it did the same thing after saving it just outside the base and reloading from there. So the distance from base thing doesn't seem to matter.

I restarted my campaign and just finished my 1st patrol, but haven't started my 2nd patrol yet. I assume everthing is okay regarding that particular glitch, but I have to test it.

I did notice during my first patrol (after I had put in the Hirez Hud dials) my RFB Alternative Nomenclatures got overwritten so they didn't appear on the plot screen anymore. That should be easy to fix. I also noticed that Werner's Periscope Optics over wrote the camera.dat so the camera doesn't work like it did with RFB/RSRDC. I also think the the Lite Fog "fix" made most of my patrol slightly foggy for the whole two months I was out as it overwrote the scene.dat file. I wonder if that's normal?

Anyhoo, I obviously need to tweak some things before heading out on my 2nd patrol (I hate that Umark so I have to get rid of it), but I'm just trying to avoid "fixing" stuff and getting weird glitches like the one I described lol.

It's all rather odd, but thanks for the reply.

Cheers
