Raising/Lowerung SD Antenna

[Zero Niner]

Is there a way to raise/lower the SD antenna? It was possible to do so in GFO, but I've not been able to locate the appropriate key press for FOTRSU. Or was that removed because there was no such ability IRL?

We did a team vote years ago about that, and decided to turn the up / down into an on / off instead. With the SD Radar the way it was, when you were on the surface, it was always on. This impacts arrivals and departures at busy locations, kicking the player out of any TC set. Then, later in the game, it becomes a Radar Detector magnet, and you have the enemy homing in on your position because of the always active SD. To use it while submerged now, you do have to come to radar depth with an <R> button press, and then a <T> press to turn on the SD. We have been unable to get a functioning SD indicator as of yet, but no one else has that either, else we would have "stolen" their idea - with proper credits, of course... - The SG surface radar comes on automatically anytime you are above the waves also, but it does have an on / off also with <Ctrl><T> combo keypress. Look in the root folder of the game for "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Back" and "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Front" jpg files, which have the FotRSU keyboard overlays in them, courtesy of CapnScurvy and his PhotoShop talents.

I would like to make SD in TMO on/off as well.
