Ship Spotted

geosub1978 · 11-22-08, 10:49 AM

In my recent installation of GWX2.1+OLCE243+THOMSEN WATER+SHIPS+HSGUIV2 + other smaller, I get continually the report "SHIP SPOTTED" every one minute for the same ship, as long as that ship is visible, dropping the time always to 1x while in SH3commander I chose 8x. Never encountered something like that. Any ideas?

This generally occurs when you are at the extreme limit of the visual range.

Try leaving the bare minimum of crewmen up top, or dive for a few minutes then surface again.

Updated data:

When a friendly ship is detected time drops to 32x. When a hostile ship is detected time drops to 1x. The target is continually reported as a new target

.

Diving once seems to solved this but I can't live with that! It is certainly a bug, but I have all these enabled. So which with what?

I thought I had fixed all the incompatibilities with them but this....I don't know how

Please help!

If I'm to be totally honest with you.....you've got so much non GWX content I wouldn't even know where to begin

You have both GWX Enhanced Damage AND OLCE2 Enhanced Damage enabled and you are only to use one of them....not both at same time.

Just one of your possible problems...

Generally, I used to be a WAC user so this is a combination of the last week. I didn't expect that this would work, but after some frustrating days I managed to resolve all the menu_1024_768 problems which were the most difficult and now I am ok! Except that damned thing!

If I don't manage to resolve it, I am willing to reinstall GWX and only the most important of the rest! Also, I don't claim that I am a hardcore README.txt reader

!

Anyway if you can think of something ok, otherwise it doesn't matter!

geosub1978 - I notice you are using the 1.4b Assisted Plotting Mod. This gave me similar 'Ship spotted' grief, a while back.

It might be worthwhile you checking your Contacts.cfg file. If the Decay Time For Precise Sensor Contacts has been set to 0, then change it back to the default GWX 2.1 setting of 60. Then test to see if this helps at all.

Good luck

Trefoil.

If so, your explanation is very good.
However, in WAC the 1.4b assisted plotting works fine.
Anyway, now I have uninstalled the previous strim waiting for GWX GOLD but I will keep this in mind because I always use this mod which is a MUST HAVE for real life lovers. It represents the interaction of the captain or watch officer with the sonar man in a very clever way!

@EASTGATE. I admire your concentration!Good points!
