Hmm...tried that but to no avail. I understand now why the radar won't work, though I only tried it in home port, I won't try it out in open waters away from protection. I suppose I just need to upgrade it after some successes and mission completions.

Nisgeis, the hydrophone not working is not due to a patch (or is it?). I haven't MANUALLY added any patches, though on my initial loading of the sim, it took a while to connect to Ubisoft's server and download patches there (GRR!). I would have thought if they introduced a patch that screwed up the operation of anything, they'd have re-patched it, but every time I subsequently ran the sim, it just briefly looked for any patches, but downloaded nothing (well, nothing large anyway).

I'm still at a loss about requesting an escort, I just drive in to port manually myself anyway, but I guess you might save some time and possible collisions with insane picket ships darting back and forth across the inlet.

Thanks anyway gents.

Happy hunting
