Sonar Issue

Did you try turning the "Num Lock" key off or on?

Yes I tried it today and it still won't let me click on the scope. In the control room I can move freely around the room but when I'm in sonar and right click on the scope it just looks all over the place. This only happened after I upgraded.

Have you tried left-clicking on the dail that represents the position of the sound head? I usually do it this way, since I have a pretty good idea of the bearing I want to listen on. And spacing clicks around the dial will cause the sound head to rotate all the way around the boat as well.

I would try clicking on the soundman, and entering the station different ways (fuction keys vs. "walking"); maybe that would help. It seems to me, someone has had similar problems in the past, but I can't remember the details.

I always go to the sonar station by clicking on the icon. I'll try different ways when I load up the game tomorrow. Left clicking on the dial does nothing but make me spin around in my seat. I don't remember what class boat I had before the Gato but it worked fine. I'm waiting to see if it goes back to working when I upgrade again.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. I vaguely remember others having problems of this sort, but I might be wrong. Anyway, if you figure it out, or come up with a fix, post it here, so others can find it.

Good luck.

Thanks I'll do that. It just really frustrating not being able to use your sonar when you know something is close. To make it worse my sonar operator is part deaf.
