[REL] Repaired Equipment MOD by Xrundel and TheBeast

[whiskey111]

I didn't use the compatibility patch. I have installed NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith.
Do I have to instal this patch after new UI and before REM
or
after new UI and after REM ?

after New UI, IRAI, Fx Update and REM

please, test again with the patch enabled in the above order, and answer my other two questions

[whiskey111]

Q: have you enabled TDW's compatibility patch after New UI's, IRAI and REM?
A: Yes, I have just done it. The patch was installed last in order. Same effect, same bad issue.

Q: By any chance have you upgraded your hydrophone to the KDB model?
A: It is test single mission made by me. U-boot 7C: CfgDate=19430101
I don't know how to check the hydrophone model in single mission. Any tip ?

Q: if the answer to my previous question is yes, was the standard hydrophone working correctly?
A: the hydrophone without REM works fine. With REM, sonarman gives the contact on surface and diving below 30m I cannot hear anything in hydro (but sonarman AI gives the contacts).

Okay, your mod list is perfect now

Try changing mission date to Sept. '39 and setting U-boat equipment to 'Early' (or simply start a new campaign without selecting any upgrade. In this way we should be sure that your sub is equipped with the standard (GHG) hydrophone.

It is easy to recognize which hydrophone your sub is equipped with, since KDB sensors are T shaped spinning things, and they should protrude from your deck, whereas the GHG ones are inside the hull and cannot be seen in external view.

Please, do one last test following the above instructions, and let me know if the GHG is audible below 30 m with REM enabled

According to other memeber's reports, it should. If you will confirm this fact, I will check what's is the difference between the two hydrophones and (hopefully), I will be able to fix the mute KDB

Let me know if you will find a solution..

EDIT: and where

[gap]

Just compared GHG and KDB hydrophones.

The GHG got three SensorData controllers with different SensoHeight and MaxRange settings. Sorted by their Index number, they are as follows:

SensorData #1
MaxRange: 15000
MinSensorHeight: -500
MaxSensorHeight: 0

SensorData #2
MaxRange: 100000
MinSensorHeight: -500
MaxSensorHeight: -28

SensorData #3
MaxRange: 22000
MinSensorHeight: -28
MaxSensorHeight: -10

As for the KDB hydrophone, it got only two controllers, whose settings are:

SensorData #1
MaxRange: 22000
MinSensorHeight: -20
MaxSensorHeight: -1

SensorData #2
MaxRange: 100000
MinSensorHeight: -500
MaxSensorHeight: -20

My suspect is that, as far as human audibility is concerned, only one of the SensorData controllers is applied, the highest index having priority over the lower ones.

It would explain why the GHG is not mute along its whole range (first controller set to 0-500 m), whereas KDB contacts are only audible above 20 m of depth (first controller set to 1-20 m).

Do you think that adding one more controller to KDB and probably to BalconGerat would be enough?
