With LWAMI 3.11 and DW 1.04 on Steam, I find that I frequently am missing contact lines on my towed array waterfall—I won't even see the line for myself, although I am in the contact list with a SNR of 60. I see it fine if I disable LWAMI.

Something similar happens with sonobuoy displays—if I see myself at a distance because of a high-speed run, when I slow down below a certain threshold I instantly drop off the display, without any tailing off.

Something possibly related happens with active sonar. For poor contacts, I'll hear the echo sound effect, but won't see anything on the display. Only solid contacts show up. It seems like, when I install LWAMI, I'm missing graphics for faint contacts.

Anyone else had something similar, or have any ideas for a solution? I'm too used to having AI helos with dipping sonar to be altogether happy playing without LWAMI.
