DEMON on autocrew trackers?

Wisq · 03-10-09, 07:24 PM

So I'm a relative DW noob (coming from SH3/4) trying to run my (Seawolf) sub in the "let the autocrew do their thing and tweak things now and then" manner, and in general, it works okay. Most of the time, I can watch and even poke the sonar station even while autocrew is active. Sure, it messes around with the frequency, so if I want to sit on a narrowband contact and ID it, I need to temporarily disable autocrew while I scroll through the options.

The one thing that doesn't seem to work at all, however, is DEMON. It apparently won't let me select any broadband trackers that the autocrew placed. I can see them on the broadband display, and I can "tracker review" to switch between them, but unless I was actually the person to press "tracker assign", I can't seem to pull that tracker up in DEMON. (I've verified I'm on the same array as broadband, etc.)

Worse, if something already has a tracker and I try to assign it again (to get DEMON working), sometimes it replaces the old one, sometimes it puts down an additional one (ah well), but sometimes it won't let me apply a tracker at all. That wouldn't be a problem, except it still won't let me DEMON on the old (autocrew-assigned) tracker.

I've also tried deleting a master contact on the map, which also seems to delete the tracker associated with it. Trouble is, in broadband, I can't seem to get a tracker back on that particular signal. (Maybe it was too faint?)

Am I doing something wrong here, or is this just a bug?
