For me. I welcome the removal of the tails. All I need is a heading for the contact and the protractor tool from the top drop-down toolbar. It's so easy!

If the target has a heading of, say SW, it's steering 225 degrees. just put the protractor cursor on the centre of the target icon - the little square thingy - left-click and move out until ytou have a line from that point of origin running along 225 degrees. Double left click and the line / course stays on the chart!

At the risk of being patronising, which I do not in any way intend, all you need is the following:

N = 0 deg
NNE = 23 deg
NE = 45 deg
ENE = 67 deg
E = 90 deg
ESE = 113 deg
SE = 135 deg
SSE = 157 deg
S = 180 deg
SSW = 203 deg
SW = 225 deg
WSW = 247 deg
W = 270 deg
WNW = 293 deg
NW = 315 deg
NNW = 338 deg and the protractor.

Since i am more of a casual gamer i like the tails. Gives you less to figure out and just go gaming.

On the other hand figuring out headings isn't that much of a deal.

Maybe it should have been an option to remove the tails. But thats my little opinion. Keeps everybody happy does it not?

Well, if we tried to make everyone happy, we'd have mod soup, and 150 optional mods.:yep:

I may be wrong. But....
GWX is one big optional mod..
It's up to You if you opt to D/L or not.;)

Of course you would be missing out if you did not D/L.
Because it ROCKS.
