Radio Contacts - help please

onelifecrisis · 08-05-07, 03:54 PM

Another question for you SH3 gurus.

When I get a new radio contact, time compression snaps back to (in my case) 1x which is great - but it only happens for contacts within a certain range. Can I increase that range? Because, quite often, I get a report that I could easily have intercepted if time compression hadn't stayed at 1024.

I've had a look through the .cfg files and noted some radio contact distance settings in Contacts.cfg, but they didn't look right. I installed minitweak and tried to use it but wasn't really sure what to do and didn't want to break anything. A little help please?

You can adjust it under options in SH3 Commander I think :hmm:

I think you're thinking of the time compression that it adjusts to. I've already set that to 1x. What I need is to change the maximum range of a contact that drops time compression; currently, contacts beyond a certain distance have no effect on time compression and by the time I've manually dropped it to zero it's often too late.
