Can't get the *#$@# hydrophone volume control to work regardless of where or how I click on it; I'll just assume it's on the blink & there's no spares aboard.

If you ping..with the button to the left of the hydrophone wheel..what event, or under what circumstances, does one get feedback that sonar has made contact with something? Is there some reading somewhere that discloses direction and/or distance?

And the radar... I'm supposing you'd have to make a 360 turn (the U-boat) to make a complete sweep; correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, like the sonar question, what feedback from the radar screen tells you it's located something? Does that green vertical line in the center of the radar screen spike somewhere? If that's the case (or not) what do the numbered gradients on either side of it represent or indicate? I'd love to monitor the radar now and then (it gets really boring sometimes with the stock version), but even if the radar picked up something while I was there, I probably wouldn't know it, and if I did, I couldn't interpret what it was trying to tell me.

Thanks again!
