Can't lock target

Venatore · 03-02-07, 02:06 AM

Hi,

I can't lock on targets at any range even 50m, I've got the correct ticks for realism so I don't do it manually, has this croped up before ?

I'm loaded with GWX patch 1.02.

Some times the watch crew misses targets although they are clearly visible with the naked eye. A workaround this problem is:
1. Go to the hydrophone screen (H)
2. Rotate the wheel until you find a contact sound.
3. Register the sound into notepad
4. Go back and the watch crew will be able to see the contact now.

Good Luck

I've had this problem with GWX loaded. I go to the TDC screen and toggle the manual input switch. I think it gets set to manual by the game.

Once I toggle that switch, I can lock on.

It also doesn't remain in that setting. I have found I have to go and do it again later.

This is a BUG

Just a little thought here Venatore....but if your in bad weather, fog/sea state...this can impact on your ability to maintain a 'lock' on the target also
