[TEC] What causes this and how to fix (sound)

Bubblehead1980 · 05-07-22, 01:16 PM

Issue I found in testing but forgot to address in TMO.

The AI Type IX U boat imported from FOTRSU has no audible sound on the hydrophone, the light does not even light up, yet the sound operator can hear and track him. If have map contacts on, the sonar line will show.

Fix? This and some others have the issue.

the fix is to stay away from SE Asia where the Type 9 uboat may patrol.

lmao. Well, now in TMO have some time in European waters and on US East Coast, kind of difficult to avoid sometimes.

See the notes in the vid. I'll try a few things, and do this again. In the meantime, pay attention to the sound of the "motors"...

Some of what KM found there was in FotRSU also, and the engine rpm versus "power" seems to matter. If certain ships fall below roughly 3 knots, they will "disappear" to sonar. The DD disappear at around 12 knots. Roughly 1/3 of a ship's speed, but it is dependent upon the rpm, power, etc in the sim file. But, in this case, I think it's the electric motor sound on a surface vessel, instead of the diesel sound. I'm doing some noodling right now, and might have the test finished in a bit - if I don't fall asleep before hand... lol

Edit: Fourth try now, and I'm still getting the same high-pitched electric engines, trying to push the boat along at 9 knots on the surface, and no diesel sound... the names all look good, the links all look good, the SH.sdl looks good, the actual diesel sound sounds like a diesel... I am overlooking something... sigh. It's too late for my mind to be attempting to function for this... lol
