Query for Steibler:

Have installed and used V2.4 for a while now, a fine update - bravo. Couple of problems:
1. The rotating round radio antenna no longer rotates for me on the Type IXD/2.
2. The rotating radar screen (FuMo30) on the Type IXD/2 cuts into the forward conning tower - Hanna mentions the Type VII (WaW site), but it exists here too.
3. I get no spikes with a contact on the vertical green "waterfall" FuMo30 radar screen in the radio room, and the distance to contact dial remains at 00000 although a contact is marked on the nav map and a text contact is presented.
4. I am getting a "Sonar broken..." message at the beginning of the patrol with the Type IXD/2- others seem to have the same problem.

However, the old "Fuel tanks ruptured, Sir!" message with the Type IXD/2 is now gone.

It seems all the sub problems are with the IXD/2 boat. I'm sure you've heard about all of these, but the conversation about them is spread across various threads and needed to be brought together in one place. I'm also not certain I should bother you with these, but it seemed a proper place to start. Please excuse if I'm wrong and direct me to the correct attentive ear.

I dislike personal messages for two reasons: we all get too many of them, forum threads let others with similar problems assist with the solution and reassure those who are too shy to ask for help.
