Just for clarification with the Sonar Station:
So you should be able to use your mouse wheel and "scroll" it to move the head, or use the <Home> and <End> keys, or use that "orange" handle on the set, though it can be somewhat hit or miss on some of the subs in some of the conns. However, you should be able to use it. As you "scroll" the heads around, you should see that pointer move about the dial with the N, NE, E, SE, S, etc. designations on it, which should also be "facing" the way of your sub... your sub is "relative" to the "true" of the gauge. In other words, the N, E, S, W, etc. will move as your sub moves, but the "relative bearing" of the numeric gauge remains constant, hence the double-headed "pointer". As that needle moves, the numeric read-out in the upper left along that big double-headed arrow should match. If the "target" is IDd, then it will say "Merchant", or whatever. Also, if on a target, as in the example, you should see the green light lit that is on the same panel as the first gauge there. You should also be able to hear something in your headphones, though it might be faint. The "Sounding Indicator" to the left of the view only comes into play when you "ping" the "target", and your needle should then give you a range that holds, if it is hit. You can then "Send to TDC" if desired. If any of this does not function on your boat, let us know. You will usually find, like mikesn9, Mad Mardigan and now Arlo, that your gauges have also gone to 12 O'Clock High and are stuck. The boat is still fully functional, though you are not getting some gauges to read as such. Your HUD should still work, your digital read-out on that sonar station should still work, as will the "ping", but you most likely will not "see" the dial move. You can still "Send to TDC" though, and it will still be "accurate" data.
So to ask Arlo, had you encountered any IJN submarines that you were aware of, and which boat were you in, and do you have a location and timeframe as to where you were when things "stuck" like that? As much detail as you guys can supply is desired. The team has been going through the haystack of text files once again, looking for any issue, and the more descriptive you can be with the details, the easier it will be. We want to be able to re-create the scenario, so that we can find a solution. Thanks.
