[REL] Repaired Equipment MOD by Xrundel and TheBeast

Okay...thanks. Makes more sense now....after being able to hear them in the past (pre MODs) was kind of freaking out. Isn't there a way to adjust hydrophone working depth? I think maybe the No Hydro on Surface might be causing the no hydro at periscope depth.

Which hydrophone model are you currently using? Depth ranges and detection ranges set by R.E.M. are listed in the first post of this thread for each of the featured hydrophones.

Unless you have enabled the "no hydrophone on surface version", made by sober's request and featured in his megamod, the fix devised by me & Volodya doesn't change the above ranges in its "regular version". In other words, the GHG and the Balkon Gerat should work (though with a limited range) even on surface.

In any case, depth/detection ranges can be freely adjusted. The number of their combinations is virtually infinite, thogh finding the right combination which will make everyone happy reminds me of Sisyphus punishment.

Personally, I think the "no hydrophone on surface" tweak is not required, given the way REM reduces shallow detection ranges. But as everything else, this is a matter of taste.

Finchou, you should try to delete TDW_Ship_Inertia_1_1_0 and start over a new career.
I had problem with it (and not alone) at first, and strangely it messed up my hydrophone.
Then without it, it worked great, and then i reactivated it at the end of my list for other career... without issue
Don't know why it was affecting hydrophone cause no files overwriten though...but fact was there.

Since i play with REM, i didn't put it back yet.

EDIT: just made a test with my list, and ANYTIME ANYWHERE i activate ship inertia now, can't hear a damn thing in hydrophone!
Back without it, works nice again...

Fifi: what problem did you have with it?.....I absolutely love the concept of it. I'm hesitant to start a new career ....that would be 4 OHII careers restarted and i've never made it past jan 40 before a restart.

GAP: I;m using a VIIB with the KDB....just switched Boats and upgraded to the KDB. I'll plan on removing No Hdyro on Surface compatible with TDW UI.

Using the KDB you shouldn't be able to hear hydro contacts on surface anyway. At that depth its sensors would have been on top of the water

This is both an historical fact and a REM feature.
You can tweak its settings for making it to work on surface indeed, but why would you do it?

haha...yeah I know this GAP.... I can't hear at Periscope depth (11 Meters)...only below 15 meters. I'd rather be annoyed with the realism of the GHG on the surface ...then to hear nothing at periscope depth or on the Surface....besides wasn't the KDB and addition to the GHG...not a replacement??

Good point

I love ship inertia concept too...but now, each time i activate it, i can't hear nothing sitting at the hydro station...i get contact lines, my hydro guy is announcing contacts, but hydro station remains deaf to me.
So i can't use this mod anymore with my current list
