Hi Steve
Yes i meant the WE (Weapons Officer), sorry.
I do know about leaving the WE assistance unchecked, but if I do that he will not only be able to Identify the ship but also give me a firing solution as well.
This is probably hard coded in one of the files.
This is how I am playing at the moment, but the temptation is there in pressure situations to get a solution from him.
I've just discovered it is the same with the OLC gold IId, but there is no solution button to click on.
So it looks like I will have to edit the menu_1024_768.ini file and try to remove the target solution button from the WE. A big challenge indeed. The file then has to be renumbered, but I do have the renumbering tool.
Your reply has made me look at it from a different angle and I now have a starting point, so thanks for that.
by the way, you can change the gamplaysetting.cfg file ( located in ..data/cfg ) so you can still play at 100% realism.
Cheers
Graeme
