CB & Redwine
I have been looking into the hydrophone issue and think this is what is failing this game. (probably just getting niffed off now and going round in circles but I want to wrap this up soon before my head explodes).
I set up happy times mission but lined myself to face oncomming DD's.
I had already nerfed hydrophone so was expecting to be picked at 4-5 thousand metres as they approached face on.
The bloody things just kept ignoring me untill I went standard and peri depth and they was 1500 mtres away. Maybe due to sensitivety being set at 0.03 the hydro is only one third effective. Maybe it is just screwed up totally. It is just too easy to approach at the moment and it is all doing my head right in.
Before I triple all hydro settings, is there anything i should know or any suggestions you think may help on this. Have you guys already tried this?. Is it me or is the Hydro actually useless, kaput, broke knackered, screwed up etc etc
.
I just have a nagging hunch we need to triple the max ranges in all the sensor.dat entries for each piece of passive equipment to compensate for the nerfs added to sim.cfg or the sensor.dat.
p.s. I set it so mission did not have crew rating as CB advised.
Are we sure this still has any effect as I still get random behaviour like before I changed?.
p.p.s. has anyone contacted timetraveler to seek help with the hex problem we are facing. I know he has tackled similar because I looked at the rudder settings and these too are long hex numbers.
