Intro...and a Newbie question

Hi. Check Six (Steve) reporting for duty. I am into aircraft as the nickname implies (Vice President of Australian Society of WW1 Aero Historians), and got into subs and ASW working as a civilian for the Royal Australian Navy. I was an Inspector of Naval Ordnance (supervised assembly and disassembly of lightweight ship and air launched anti-submarine weapons [Mk 44 and Mk 46] and heavyweight sub launched Mk 48 torpedos), then a weapons assessor for the Trials and Assessing Unit, assessing ASW practice exercises.

How do operate the radio and radar and hydrophone? I can make the devices highlighted, but can't seem to operate devices. Left clicking on them just makes them highlighted, right clicking makes me move around the vessel again.

Also, how does the escort into harbour work? I went ot the radio operator's post, and waited for my XO to report seeing an escort, but was unable to get the "request escort" message when I spoke to him, just small talk.

I have more questions, but I'll start another thread for those.

Check Six out.
