Mr.Schwab, thank you for the reply.

I understand what you are saying regarding the labor of plotting. I tend to go back and forth (argument in my head) when it comes to 'reality'... I do hear your arguments and they are certainly valid. However, I guess subjective value comes into play and I want (at this in point in time anyway) to learn to plot tracks and such, so to add to the immersion. My mind could change depending on forthcoming success and/or failure, lol.

I won't subject you to my method as it is just like many already stated on here... I guess I worded my original post a bit poorly. I basically need a tutorial showing how to use the map tools. (I've already watched RockinRobins video on map tools but one that goes into more detail.) A skipper doesn't necessarily need to plot to get a solution BUT it is certainly needed when shadowing convoys.

Ok, so changing subjects... I posted about downloading radio stations, I got them and placed them in the correct location within the game and updated the radio.ini with the station info...

I assume the various news casts dated from '41-'45 will play randomly... so I guess I need to edit out the incorrect years and continue editing based on the year of campaign I'm in?

Cheers.
