Weird issue with hydrophone?

Torpedo Death · 12-24-16, 11:08 AM

I was playing last night, and for some reason reason I wasn't able to click on the hydrophone arrow to move it around. Clicking on it would just look around the station. Never had this happen before, and couldn't figure out how to fix it. Reloading didn't help.

I know I can use the keyboard to move it around, but I much prefer clicking.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Yes... in stock version (maybe some mods, I don't know for sure) boats that use Gato effects have a bug about that. try some quick missions with other boats , you'll probably see THEY work.

the fix:
In the "Downloads" menu under SH4\GamePlay Mods you will find "Gato Sonar Bearing Fix_Stock"..... linked here: ( http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4099). It will put the mouse capture ability back onto the Sonar Bearing Dial for those subs.
