What I was saying is that in the manual that came with the game the hand to turn on the radar is suppose to be the "hold fire" button. So at first I wondered why it was on the radar panel and not the gun panels, of course it took about 2 seconds to figure out they changed the buttons from what is in the manual. When you said the 'hold fire' button will function properly, my comment is "There is no 'hold fire' button." I know pressing the 'fire at will' a second time will act the same as the 'hold fire'. I was just making a comment about the book having different buttons than the game. I wasn't making myself clear I guess, mine works fine it just isn't what the book says it's suppose to be. And the comment about submerging to cease fire (or hold fire) was just a poor attempt at humor.
You were right about the radar it must have been damaged. The next mission when I left port I checked and it was working. I don't know why it was damaged, I never used it on a mission and I was never DCed. But anyway it works now.
I thank you for taking the time to answer what you thought was a problem. I will try to be more clear in the way I word things. I did have a problem with the radar but apparantely not the same problem that DavyJoneFootLocker had. When I first read his comment I thought we might have the same problem, so I was just letting him know I had the problem too, and that lead to the hand being greyed out on the radar panel and then the misunderstanding came from that.
