radar/visibility problems

Was the radar on? It doesn't turn itself back on after you surface, and its efficiency is greatly enhanced by switching it on and toggling continuous sweeps :-D

yeah it was defo switched on and on sweep mode. i seem to recall that a certain button configuration had to be used so that the radar would stay on when not at the radar station.

or was that fixed with patch 1.5?

After you've left the radar station, select the radar menu, and make sure the hand and continuous sweeps are selcted.

Otherwise, no clue what the problem might be.

I had had problems at times turning on the radar... the toggle switch deal has been tricky for me.

Question: If you don't have a radar is the console still there? I seem to recall when I started the career it said I did not have a surface radar... and no option to buy one (starting at Pearl).
