has anyone fixed the sonar and radar to work properly?

Is there a mod which will switch the radar on automatically upon surfacing after a dive. I know the 'R' key will switch it on/off but lame brains such as myself sometimes forget while concentrating on the map and I know the radar crew would certainly not forget! LOL.

On a similar topic, is there a mod which will maintain the constant sweep when I go to the radar station. The radar can be sweeping normally (due to my issuing the command from the command buttons etc) but if I go to the radar station to look at the screen it automatically stops sweeping and I have to click on the button to get it to continue. I find this quite annoying as I much prefer to have the sweep continue without my having to "interfere".

thanks,

I mod my HUD with the old 'green lamp on' HUD. Whatever mod I play I always include at least part of the green lamp HUD because it is simple to see what is on. Also, I usually keep the radar tab on the HUD the active tab. With that said, I know that whenever I surface the default usually is SJ on.

As for the SJ turning off when you look - I am unaware of a fix and just live with it. Yes I agree it can be a nuisance to always be clicking it back on.

With all of its flaws I am just happy UBI made a submarine sim in the Pacific Theatre; a game I waited at least 10 years to see...... lol

Happy Hunting!

In 1.5 UBM the radar activates automatically when you surface.

Are we talking about the same radar here. I have the UBM (1.5) with TMO and RSRD and I have to physically switch on the radar (surface search) when I surface. I look up from the bridge and click 'R' and watch the antenna start spinning or I use the command buttons but either way I have to switch it on after surfacing every time. The air search is automatic but not the surface search.

i use ubm v1.5 and for me when i use the ";" key to go to snorkel depth or radar depth (whichever you choose to call it) the radar is on as soon as it gets above water but when surfacing it only comes on when i turn it on.

In the un-modded game, radar comes on every time you surface. There's probably an "exception" in the configuration file that allows a modder to change the setting. All you need do is find that change ... and change it back!

have this problem all the time...especially with the U-boat. Not once did my radar detect a ship! my watch crew was calling out the contact and my radar didn't show anything!!
