I do have "No Map Update" enabled, but this has never kept me from getting sound contact map updates before. This "No Map Update" option has only kept me from seeing ships in all around the map, including ones I have not officially detected myself yet. I would like to keep it this way.

In the past, when I played other modded versions of SH3, when I got a sound contact, I would get some sort of line from my UBoat out to the Sound Contact. In the beginning (I believe this is the default version), I would get a solid line-pointer directly out to the sound contact when in my map view.

Then, I beleive NYGM or Rub changed this solid line to a little dashed lines that went out to the sound contact on your map view. The closer you got to the actual ship, the lighter the little dashes got.

Both of these lines would show up, even when I had the "No Map Update" option enabled. Now, I don't see any lines going out to any sound contact while playing GWX. I was wondering if this is just how it is, or if I have something wrong with my installation. I know you only see the line when zoomed in, but zooming does not work in my situation. I am simply not getting anything for sound contacts.
