I recently got a new computer and installed the game but for some reason I am unable to see the search arcs of my patrols on the screen. I'm not sure how to get it so they're showing. Is there a way to fix that?

A screencap of a squadron would help. I'm presuming you have set a squadron to show arcs and that you have in fact specified a range of degrees to search. Are there actual planes available with actual pilots and is the range of the squadron set to >0?

CTRL+Z to see the arcs, if you manually set them. If you left them at "Arcs Random" they will not show because they can change every turn.

Thanks! I tried ctrl+z but it didn't work. Here are the screenshots of what I'm seeing

You have the vanilla version of WiTP:AE (industry button is missing). Download the latest official update.

Never operate your aircraft at maximum range unless it is an emergency situation - the fatigue on airframes (PLANES hypertext) and Pilots will result in high Ops losses.

You have your aircraft operation on ASW, not Naval Search so I am unsure if search arcs are displayed. Also, ASW is a more intensive search so whatever range you set, the actual search distance will be half of that. That does not make your range of 18 OK - I think setting max range means the aircraft will fly to the last drops of fuel and get the same wear and tear on pilots and airframes.

Also, I don't see the area of the screen where you manually set the arcs (lower right, below the mission orders) so it might not have been in the game when first released.
