When clicked you dont get warnings about contacts close to you. No time compression drops...

When you receive a radio contact, Time compression drops to 1

3. Disable TC1 on radio message rcvd?
Same but for radio messages

4. Show player guidence?
Demostrates some basic controls (right click,left click)

5. SHow lock / break lock?
When enabled, whenever you lock a target, an icon appears saying break lock.

7. How do you adjust volume on the Hydrophone?
I dont think it is possible

Thanks, except, i've not seen a button for locking a target! also i still dont get the radio range....if you can receive radio messages at 3000km+ why would you not choose to do so??? you say "Realisim", but i would just repeat the question!

If you press F1 in game you'll see that the lock/unlock button is the spacebar. You can also click on the lock/unlock icon in the top right bar to show a lock/break lock box in the scope views.

If you want to play an arcade game then set the range to 3000+kms. If you want some kind of historical accuracy then set the range to a very low value. The option is there for those who want to play the game the way they want to.

Ahh, i see, i have actually been using F1, but i was convinced that the spacebar was for firing guns!

As for the radio, now i understand.....i want realism, any idea of rough range that would be ?
