As a social update..
We went to the 'outlaws' for supper/dinner/evening meal.
I'm totaly plastered.. really wrecked... actually drunk.
So my mother and I start 'talking' (she's plastered as well)
You know... that Mother-Son stuff, and talking about the kids/grandchildren...

You look at the 'old bag' - Your mother..
The mother that brought you into this world..
I was there, 'right there', when my kids were born...

You know .... that stuff....

Hey Vanjast

Its looking real good from the first posts and the periscopes - can you update us on the status??

:oops: side-tracked with another 'quick mod', will get back to this when RL goes away..:D

Any news on the sub icon yet ? I play the game with the 'no map contacts' option set, but my own sub still gets this little dark round dot, which gives away it's position precisely.

That also makes approaching ships less interesting. I mean half the fun is to track the movement of your target and the other half of the fun is tracking your own movement during such an approach ^^.

I used the RealNavMod 1.3 for SH4 I found around here, and it replaces some icons (supposedly) with just transparent images, but this small dot representing my sub still remains on the nav map :88)

Sorry guys... RL is getting in my way... a lot lately:damn:

I will eventually get back to this, but this lot should help you 'most of the way'

:up:

But that doesn't disable the map contact update, does it ?

I disabled those in the realism settings but still get a small icon displayed on the nav map when zoomed in for every ship my crew is able to spot.
This also gives away my own position - roughly, but still.

Your sub small dot dissapears.. It's what I'm currently using.

I set no map updates, etc.. in career mode and I only see the little square box for either a ship or a task force when a message appears, otherwise nothing else.

You might have to explore the mods and pull out what you need.
The mod readme files have all the info.

:D
