I think i had it too far to the left on my nav map when i closed it and it disappeared.

I would hate to have to go back and load a save game from before i did all this work and maneuvering to get into a firing solution range :)

Is there a way to get it back?

fwiw i'm using TDW's real nav, and enhanced sh5 ui, realism 100% if that matters...

I think i've answered my own question. From TDW's manual:

- Enhanced Recognition Manual add-on mod
The position information is stored in a file for each page. The files are located in your SH5 install path (...\Silent Hunter 5). The files are named as follows: pagex_Draggables.TDW. The information in the files is stored in binary form and can be viewed using a hex editor if one wishes. To erase all stored position information simply delete the pagex_Draggables.TDW files. Upon restart of the game new files will be created and the items will be at their stock default location.

Makes sense since when i exited my campaign and started a new historical mission the manual was still missing.

Just wanted to post this for anyone else who may encounter the same problem.

Its happened to me before as well, if you delete that file the game will create a new one and put it in the default location.

Look under the seat of the periscope - you may have dropped it down there...:rotfl2:
