My gold edition has the sonar off and I can't turn it on.
You talking about the German or American side?

On the American side, Sonar is never turned "off". No place to switch it "off or on" for that matter.

On the other hand, Radar is "inoperable" if you don't have it when you leave the dock. Even though the game displays the two radar station screens (PPI and A-Scope) they won't work if the radar isn't installed on the boat.....at the proper time when it becomes available. One of the many things the developers never got around to do is implement the radar "covers" placed over the stations to have the radar appear inoperable. Their modeled in the game files, but never put into play. So, you have the radar sitting there as if its installed, but its not going to "turn on" until you have it made available in mid 1942. The later subs will have it already installed and working, after mid 1942.
