I don't have a gamma problem, but I have another gamekiller to cope with.

I've only tried the ffg, but it has some serious issues as far as speed goes. The only two reliable ways to set a specific speed is "all stop" and "flank" (though I haven't tried reverse)

The rest sometimes gives the speed you want but usually not. By numbers or keypad or by taskbar or by throttle, the text and speech acknowledgement say the correct speed, but the actual speed you get (which can be read off the throttle control) is somewhere 25-75% of the speed you entered.
(4 knots became 1, 17 became 12)

(Is this a side effect of the torpedo speed fix I read about? Was it a "shortcut fix"? Sorta like fixing a car that drops its tires with duct tape?
