Ok, we're narrowing down the situation.

Do you mean by "mouse clicking" over the bearing dial, the pointer doesn't respond to your new positioning? It won't move as in an earlier sub.....like the S-Class or Porpoise?

That's a stock bug that doesn't allow the pointer to be positioned on the Gato interior Sonar station with the mouse (the Gato Sonar is also used for the Tambor, Balao, and I think the Salmon/Sargo as well).

As a work around, use the keyboards Home/End keys to move the pointer clockwise or counter clockwise. Mouse clicking the toggle switches should still work for sending a ping, or sending the return results to the TDC. Remember, if you don't hear a return ping....re adjust the bearing pointer a degree or two, and send it again. The bearing position can be off by just a little and miss.
