I sometimes slow to 2/3, (I mention this because changing speeds might be related somehow). Anyway,
so far so good. After a time, I come up to periscope depth and raise the SD antenna...nothing. So I go to 'Radar Depth'...nothing. I surface and bang... there's the planes. This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens a lot. I'm used to coming up to periscope depth, raising the antenna and getting the hit on the SD.
As far as the mods go, I've gone through the process and pretty much canceled out any particular mod causing this to happen. I am using 1.5, Real Environment #1, GFO plus the Real Env patch. Those two are the biggest mods I have installed. The rest are fluff that have always worked in any combination. So, do you think GFO still might have a problem with RealEnvironment even with the GFO W' Real Environment patch? Feedback is completly welcome with the exeption of remarks on the Skippers sanity.
Thanks

Ok, here is a tip. Try staying under during daylight and move about at 1/3 speed. When your SD fails to warn against aircrafts popping out under 5 miles, I'd call this salt-water effect. However, when you do get a single contact, dive and I quote Rich O'kane's book, Clear the bridge!; " The duty chief will assure himself that all trash sacks are well secured and weighted, as we want no telltales in this area at dawn. Our low silhouette gives us the advantage, but only if all lookuots do their best. A patrol or ship can come from any direction. Keep me completely informed. Call me at any time. If in doubt, dive!"

So, if there is any doubt, have the checkbox for default action marked at Periscope or Crash dive. Normally an hour or so from getting under should get the bad guy away for a small price of battery charge. It's the difference between staying at sea and finishing up or lying to permanently.
