No manual sonar

SteamWake · 03-07-10, 08:33 PM

I noted tonight that my soundman had a contact. I sat down to have a listen for myself.

Well my soundman must have pretty good skillz cause I couldent hear a damn thing.

Oh and another pet peeve that drives me crazy... there is no 'baffles' or excessive noise (from your own engines/props) when passing through 180. SH4 got it right.. why is it broken now

Maybe I dont know how to turn the damn thing on but I tried twisting that knob that says 'volume' but it dident seem to do anything.

Am I missing something?

Funny thing is SW I get all kinds of noise on the hydrophone. I have to shut down the e-motors to listen. Furthermore, my sonar man is deaf as they come. He hears nothing!

The hydrophone has a bug right now. you need to have the engines shut off to hear anything yourself. Right now, the engine noise drowns everything out in every direction.

Yea I thought I heard some chug chug chug background noise. Sounded like an old split but was all over the band.

So you have to cut the engines to hear anything.... nice.

Yes it must be a bug. The engine noise is all around not just in the baffles, so it's impossible to hear anything else.

Does the sound nob do anything at all ?
