New guy saying hi and a couple questions

[Slammr]

Hi all, new to DW...wanted to drop in and say hi.

Couple questions, too.

1. Do low-frequency lines always show on the NB sonar? Seems to me like they don't, and I changed the gamma setting in the .ini file to 0.5...

2. I'm planning to order the manual, but is the delivery time really 4-6 weeks via US Postal?

Thanks for your answers.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but for contacts that emit discrete frequencies (exceptions would be biologics and passive decoys in the stock game and [I think] missiles in the modded game), the signal that is detectable from the longest range will be its lowest frequency line.

Hi mate, welcome to this fantastic adrenalin trip called DW
What do your exactly mean by: 'always show in Narrowband' ?

Keep in mind only your Towed Array is capable of picking up signals under about 100hz... the hull array is good for about 100-600hz, and your sphere array is for higher frequency narrowband contacts at about 800-2000hz.

Depends on range and SSP.

Thanks for the help, gents...I had forgotten that different sonar suites? units? platforms? read input from different frequencies.

Yep, I was never a Squid.

Again, thanks for the help.
