i thought i read somewhere in this forum that the zone took priority over the Star/Pennant.


ok, if that is the case, then i'll just drop it.
jawohl, mein herr.
(i'm getting ready for our trip to Germany next week.
The "Star" sits in the dead-center of the MapZone used to designate the patrol. It will use the longitude and latitude coordinates in the MIS file for that particular MapZone. However, the grid itself is off... Now, if you want to, you could go into the missions and move the MapZone, which would thereby move the "Star", but how far to move it?... There are several posts on here (couldn't find them just now), where folks discuss the problem with the grid. Since I haven't done the Uboats very deeply (I do have OM / OMEGU installed and use it about once a month), I don't worry too much about it. I generally will sit right by the star for the required time frame, and then go off and do what I want...
