I found out how to remove the noise (Data\Menu\Gui\noise.dds) from the navigation map but the there are still a lot of "dirty" areas. I have found several other noise files but none seem remove the dirt.

Anyone know which file is responsible? I would be grateful for some help. If the charts on my boat IRL get dirty I get new ones, and I want to do the same in the game.

There's the background "StrTactMap" and nightlight "Night_filter"...

Besides that, not sure what you mean? :hmmm: Show a pic perhaps?

I found the file and I feel really stupid. I guess I could blame it on a senior moment, but I never thought they would name it dirt.dds. Now I have a clean map with the colors I like. Thanks for the reply.

Unlike other dds files you can cut the detail and leave a blank file like noise.dds. You have to leave it a single shade of a white. Varying the intensity from bright white to dark gray lightens or darkens the base colors you make for the water.
