If it is set below 100%, the group will take off across the ocean in a straight line beyond Waypoint 1.

i always thought that the EvolveFromEntryDate parm tracked the version of the Unit from its birth through its "evolution" as a unit, as game time progressed. i never once thought it would mean evolve its position in the game.

You should also make certain there is enough space between the Omaha and its escort ship, allowing at least 1000 yards between them, because the escort will do patrolling "knuckles", and it will need plenty of room to avoid the Omaha going into collision avoidance and then neither of them maintaining formation.

i thought this might be a problem also, however, in TMO_BH, the Omaha has just as many \Sea-folder files as any other CL, IJN or US.

i DID notice that in the Roster file (Omaha.cfg) that \Sea\Omaha.TGA files are referenced however there are NO corresponding TGA files in the \Sea\NCLOmaha folder. there are several sets of DDS graphic files, however. i do not think this is the issue in this particular problem.

The game should report sonar or radar contacts (if appropriate) and ship spotted, but once spotted, will not report sonar contact unless you submerge and can no longer "see" the ship. You guys could also try setting the ship to report its position after every 30 minutes, and try to see what it is doing...

neither the RGG nor the Group is spotted. by anyone. at any time.
and i did set the Report Position to 10 prior to my last run, which may have aided the appearance of the group/RGG icons.

i still cannot figure out why there is no second spawn when we are in close proximity to the group/RGG.

BTW, setting High Priority Contact to true will cause the game to mark the group/RGG with a huge, visible icon, once it spawns. i've tested that before.
