Ship appears on surface but not on map then lockup!
Hi, running GWX 1.3, I came across a convoy in BE36 & went to PD, after a while I noticed a cruiser, don't know what type as it was dark, strange thing though it didn't show on either maps, couldn't lockon to it either, soon after the PC locked up & had to reset, obviously something wrong!
 I was able to go back in on a prior save, take a shot, and edit the gamma:   Could someone give me a hint what to look for? Many thanks.

This is wierd, these are the closest match. The NCA_Northampton is an addon but the sil tga shows only 1 set of guns to the rear:
 The NCL_Fiji is the closest but this is a standard unit .... I think:  I just checked the museum & Fiji displays ok, what would cause it not to show on nav or attack map, or not lockable, very puzzling!  Any ideas welcome?

Well, the flag indicates it is a Royal Navy cruiser, so it's not likely a Northampton-class cruiser. It looks to me like it could be a Southampton-class light cruiser if it is not a Fiji-class light cruiser. Pablo

It is 200% Fuji-class.
NCA_Northampton looks like the one from SH4. I thought I read somewhere that GWX does not use SH4 ships in principle. |

@ Pablo, not Southampton, the funnels on that are sloping back!
 Bit of an update, 99% sure it's a Fiji class, I couldn't lock due to the fact of it being dark I couldn't see the damn thing, once I got close enough I could see it through the scope, still not shown on map, now as soon as I locked on, it showed on map, by this time it's too late to set TDC, any clues? Edit: One other important thing, all hydraphones lines are there for all ships including DD's but not to the cruiser.
