Increase the "Display Range To Important Radio Contacts" or "Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts" value in SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg\contacts.cfg

From a game context, a game based on scripts and RNG's,
I am just trying to figure if they are real or thrown in there to annoy you or have you sail full on towards a ghost that changed course (or made port, as I love trolling the English coast) 3 hours before you arrived.
The reports that come in through radiomessages WITH icons on the map definitely are! All you need is to figure a way to meet them in time. Icons on the map without radio messages too, but are single units, and the speed is less accurate.

But they can always change course!

Some radio messages do not have enough info to locate them, or tell where they go/how fast. That is just immersion filler material. Though some major scripted real battles might hinted at with these messages.
