noob question I know!
Real navigation is indeed a tough nutt to crack. Stoianm has some very educative tutorials here:

can´t recommend it enough

All I really want to know is what this adds.

can we get a list of sorts?

The only reason I ask is because I don't want to start another new game without knowing all the details.

It removes most of the info from your mav map. No:-
uboat
ships
hydro bearings etc.
So as you cant see where you are - there is also no waypoint setting.

There is :-
land
radio reports
nav fixes (this tells you where you are within an error radius)
super marks (for making notes).

It is a bit scary when you first try but well worth the effort.
See some of Soianm's vids.

You can install and uninstall any time.

There are also scripts to help. See harbour pilot and my auto scripts.
They make it easier by auto adding nav fixes etc

As a rule of thumb, the best way to install this kind of mod is when in bunker. You don´t have to start a new campaign, AFAIK only icebergs mod requires that. This is why I´m not going to see them in the near future.

This MOD does not require new campaign. You can load while at sea or in port.

That would be wonderful. Could you tell us how to lower it or edit it out completely? Is it in the uboat.sim file?

Made some Minor changes that I should have had to start with last year.

Uploaded new UBoot_Sensors.sim that keeps the Rod Radio Antenna from Extending.

See Post #1 for more information.

QUESTION:
Is it possible to have Balkan Gerat and KDB Hydrophone at same time?
Were any boats ever really configured this way?

Although they Balkan Gerat can function while surfaced because the Hydrophone Head is on the keel of the boat. It does have a very distinct disadvantage. As Destroyers close on you, Sonar loses contact when they get close. A cone of silence above the UBoat where it can not hear. The GHG hydrophone also has this issue but a smaller cone of silence. This adds some difficulty when trying to avoid Depth Charges.

The KDB Hydrophone head does not function while surfaced. The Hydrophone Head is on the Deck towards the Bow of the boat, so you must be submerged at least 8 meters before it starts working.
The good thing is you do not lose contacts as they pass over you.

Glorious! You are my savior.

Anyone had compatibility issues with this and NewUIs, IRAI or FXfix?

Just installed the mod with stoianm renow costs zero. I´m still in 1940 (Type VII/C) but every item is available: decoys, RWR and so on. Is it supposed to be that way or did I do something wrong?
