easy one
 
I practiced the examples in the MoBo instructions and then tried it in a game. When I try to add a contact, I get a node rather than the Contact ship displayed in the tutorial. What happened? I will try Control C to add a contact, but I am wondering if I can fix the default so I get a contact rahter than a node? This is one hell of a mod.

That's odd... If you press "C" MoBo should plot a contact.

What color is the "node"?

If it's a red square, then you are plotting a contact. There just isn't a visible speed/heading vector. To assign the vector to the contact, just hover over the contact and press "V" and the speed/heading gadget will appear to let you set the vector.

It should only plot a node if you press "N" and it should be a small blue circle.

Is the default a node? I thought it was a contact. If it is a node then everything is fine. C gives me a Contact.

The default is a node (blue circle), but the default only applies if you left double-click the mouse button when the "Add Unit" cursor is displayed. If you use the assigned keypresses that's not a default action.

I did try to follow the military standard convention for the shape of a surface contact (square) and OwnShip (circle).
