Silencing the Navigator on Startup

I would like to know how I can silence the "Navigator: Calculated position is..." report when I start up SH5 (TWos)?


I have scoured the OFE/V program without success. I don't trust myself to dive into any of the cfg files, etc. Any ideas?

I'm afraid that you can't. That first, initial fix when you load the mission or a gamesave has to be done. After that you're on your own. That's how Real Navigation is implemented.

In that case I will figure out how long to hold my hand over the lower-right corner of the screen to block out the information from view. Is there a way to make SH5 post the LAT/LON instantly followed by a small flood of the dialog with other data to push the LAT/LON up and out of view?


I hope this makes sense?

Sure. Hit keys 1-2-3-4-5 several times, engine crew will think you went crazy but this will push the fix out of view all right

BTW I would also love to disable that first fix - if I had completely wrong idea about my position when saving the game, it feels wrong to be immediately corrected on reload. I'd like to keep my ignorance intact...

But again, initial navigation mark/fix on our nav map will still be visible. It can not be removed...

I know. Personally, I just hit X to delete it and try my best to forget where it was.
