1.3 Radar problems!!

TrtSmrt · 10-24-07, 03:43 PM

Frist of all, thank you all for these nice tutorials (Legion, Neal and all other guys that contributed to us noob captains).
In my first mission with manual TDC i sunk two lagre freighters and nearly one destroyer (damn thing got under his keel) with no miss at all!

All of this during the pitch black night at stormy sea! The TDC is not so difficult at all... it is obvious what, why and when to do.
OK... sometimes the lock is giving me problems but it mostly of really bad weather and even on 15m i am still geting slapped by waves on the periscope.

But....

I have installed 1.3 patch over a new clean installation of SHIV and it appears that the radar is not working (neither of those). The signal lamp is always off, I can change the range on both radars, antenna is slowly turning when I surface, but it don't detect contacts.

Another strange thing is that the first to catch any contact is SO, then WO.... and radar guy is keeping quiet

I've tried to go to battlestations, submerged and resurfaced many times, all of which I tried to turn the radar by pushing the button on the radars themself, and by turning the signal lamp in the menus.
I am playing on 100% realism and the things are absolutely the same with no map contacts checked or unchecked.
Also i've tried to play with realistic sensors option but its still the same.

Does anyone else has this problem?

P.S. Yeah... i found that convoy during the fist mission by the radio contact and then by SO giving heading (i was still on the surface?!). That is at least strange... sonnar working on the surface and radar not working at all

Maybe i can try to use it submerged buahahah

EDIT:

Using no MOD at all.. clean as a baby
