Dials incorrect

sonicninja · 11-05-06, 10:21 AM

After installing the 1.4 patch and the excellent GW mod and also various other smaller mods (subsim modders rock

) i have noticed a small bug with my depth dial.
Basically my depth dial reads say 50m but im actually at 70m, a bit of a nightmare as im bouncing my boats arse (stern) off the seabed on a number of occasions.
Any ideas as to what may have caused this?

Also my hydrophone dial seems to stick quite often when im on the hydrophone room scanning for nearby contacts :hmm:

many thanks in advance shipmates

Hello. I think that the depth of the sub is calculated from the keel, so when you're on the surface you're actually at 5m depth. Maby that's the reason for the difference you see in the depth dials. As far the hydrophone I don't know but I will look into it.
