Are you on the surface, or submerged for the CTD? I have tried both, both with and without sonar contacts on the map. I have even had a contact that I could see lighting the green light, but could barely hear, and asked to sonarman the range to target, and got 33890 yards... I've pinged targets and gotten ranges just fine. I have turned my boat to where the same target was close to the 340 relative and been fine. I of course, only have one ship sunk thus far in my attempts, but I am off Cam Ranh Bay, and have had to dodge two IJN subs already...  - and I encountered a Shinshu Maru transport group, as well as a small task force, both headed southwest, and both of which almost took me out of the game. I did manage to sink one small transport, and could possibly have had more if not for the duds... but anyway, I have not had any issues with the Sargo and sonar during testing thus far. I will keep trying though, as well as in the other boats, since they all use the same gear for the most part...  |
When I started this career I first unloaded all mods from JSGME, and deleted both the Save and Rich Save folders from the SH4 Documents folder. Then, started a new career with the patch and above Mods applied. It is "possible" that there was some residual in what was left in the SH4 files that could cause a problem, although the Sonar station seems a funny place to have a conflict. I also reused the career Captain's name, which might also affect something.
My solution is this: I will delete the SH4 game folder completely, copy over a new Pristine version v1.5, and reestablish the game per normal protocols. That will give me a completely clean test bed for v1.21 (or v1.2p as downloaded) from which to see if I can get past the funky sonar station issue I encountered. To keep things even I will use exactly the same mods as before in an attempt to limit the variables. I'll let you know. Meanwhile, i wouldn't spend any more time on it until I can see what happens in the new version.
Thanks!
