Radio messages question

Anyway, getting to the problem, I too usually get no replies from the patrol reports in the message box. I am using all of TDW's stuff it's great! Just the patrol report replies.
Maybe we could get TDW to chime in here if he's got any ideas why we have to check the Captains Log, otherwise it may be just one of those things.
As far as the sounds go, you won't hear one unless you have the boat set to TC1 on incoming messages. I have that setting on unless I don't want the constant interruptions. The sounds (I'm also using DBSM sound which is great as well) are really good, A "Morse Code type beeping" sometimes followed by the radioman calling out the type of message "intercepted enemy transmission" or "Message from the BDU", just great.
I hope we can get the little problem of the patrol replies getting into the message box fixed, otherwise just keep that TC1 on incoming messages on and you should hear the incoming sounds.

Ok, the sound is on TC1. I usually have it on time control going fast, thats why I don't hear it.

I'm slowly getting my mods in order, I think I have them right were I want them. Yes SH5 is great with all the mods. The player made mods are really great. If you have 60+ mods it take a little bit to get the mods organized. I know I am on here a lot asking questions, it's because I love the game and always trying to improve on it.

My radio messages I have complete control over. That said, there is always a % chance that the radio operator doesn't receive or intercept a message. Those messages that appear in the captain's log and not in the radio messages log are not supposed to be received. That's why I say if you have the radio messages engine running totally ignore the captain's log messages.

This % chance doesn't apply if the maker of the radio messages set a certain thing saying always received for that radio message.

Yes, last night I received another red reply from the BDU after my report was sent in. Somewhere I saw a place where I could change this percentage/chance that you would receive a reply. So, once again, I spoke up a bit too soon as I knew what Raven was talking about 'cause it was happening to me, now it has changed and I am receiving the replies. Thanks for the explanation too. Now I know what to expect and why. Even in the best of circumstances a U-Boat would not receive every transmission from the BDU.

Yes, I found a mod list from Sober which I use as sort of a model for the order that I arrange the mods. It made all the differance in the world.
