Antenna?

Stock Silent Hunter III simulates the effects of U-boat radar rotation but does not rotate the 3D model of the radar antenna; similarly, some ship contacts represent the effects of using the radio direction finding (RDF) antenna to detect radio transmissions but the RDF does not deploy or rotate. GWX merely rotates the 3D model of the radar antenna on U-boats so equipped, and the RDF loop on all U-boats; the azimuth of the radar and RDF antennas matches the azimuth shown on the azimuth control wheel in the radio room

In the stock game the antenna is always down. In GWX it is always up. I use Anvart's RFA Up/Down mod, which lets you raise and lower it at will. It always lowers when you dive, so when I surface I go to the bridge and raise it so I can watch it go up and start rotating.

Folks like you make this forum a great place to be! Hats off to you guys and thanks for putting up with the newbie Q's. Ive been out of the loop for a while. Hats off to you and good sailing guys.
