Sonar/Auto Crew help

Sounds like you can't find the contacts because of your screen's gamma settings. The lines on the waterfall are there, but having pixel intensities that are too close to the noise pixels for your eyes to see the difference. Autocrew doesn't have that visual impairment. Gamma can enhance the low intensity pixels significantly while leaving the stronger pixels relatively the same. But this works for all other screens aswell. Even the game's main menu. Waterfall may look better, but all others will look bleak. But who cares, sonar is most important. You can adjust the number on the following line (there probably is no number yet) in the dangerouswaters.ini file with a text editor:

.Gamma "0.5"

0.5 works for me. Your mileage may vary.

Or maybe you can adjust this setting on your videocard or monitor.
