The sim.cfg file of NYGM is considerably different from that of GWX (and stock SH3).

However, attempts to use the GWX sim.cfg file, or to alter the settings, resulted only in the enemy detecting my U-boat more easily. It had no effect on the U-boat's ability to send a contact report about the convoy - perhaps made things worse.

I am beginning to wonder if the problem lies with default crews for the U-boat when the game is started. In NYGM, the default crew is poorly trained. Perhaps with GWX the default starting crew in career mode has better training, which is why it is better in trials at detecting convoys in less than perfect visibility.

This has become a baffling puzzle. I shall try Depthcharger's idea of diving to locate the convoy by hydrophones, before making surface contact.

H.sie, I know you have an NYGM set-up. Could you perhaps try a career patrol to see if you have the same difficulty as me in sending contact reports for convoys?
