thanks TLAM & Goldorak

Perhaps you could help me out with a few more things that have been bothering me.

I was in a simple mission that I created to sharpen my TMA skills. while I was waiting to get in range and pick up contact off my primary target, I ran out a uuv to see how it worked.

I was not able to get a hit on it(uuv) with any of my passive sonar. At about 100yrds out there was a sign of it in NB search display, but nothing in the waterfall. I had the uuv running at 4 knts. Is this how its modeled? Its just going so slow that I can't pick it up?

Also, I was baffled a little because the unit picked up a contact opposite of my position and I could not pick up any contacts at all at this point..what I mean by this was that the Nav map was updated with a new contact and a yellow line going from contact to the uuv. the DDI on the Nav map didn't indicate the source of the contact( is this the way contacts are collected with uuv?)
I must confess its been a while since I used a uuv, so I am very ignorant with regards to them.
The unit also seemed to run out prematurely,(should go 37 min according to manual) but since I didn't time it I can not verify this. It updated the only contact I had at the time and immediately disappeared.
I am beginning to think that perhaps I have a faulty install, cause some of these behaveiors just cant be part of the mod(maybe im wrong)

On install I had a hard time following instructions ( i'm slow in the brain) So what I did is I unpacked the first RAR file and placed all its contents in my DW root directory. Then I placed the other 3 RAR files (still packed) in the DW root directory too. Then I Launch Install_RA_OPFOR_DWX1_1.bat file.
I hope this was the right way, enlighten me if not.

anyway sorry for so much info, just trying to figure this all out, I love the game! & thanks much for all your work.
