SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - [REQ] no ships on map but keep sonar lines

jhelix70 · 04-29-07, 06:07 PM

I wanted to turn off showing ship contacts on the map for greater realism. With them its too easy to get speed and AOB. Unfortunately this also seems to turn off the sonar lines (the ones that point to sound contacts when you are underwater). I wanted to keep those as its too hard otherwise to keep track of multiple sound contacts.

Is there any way to mod this? This is one of the difficulty options, and I wasn't sure what file controlled their effects?

Also, the sonar lines give distance information (the end of the line is the location of the ship, its as if you had underwater radar). I think they should be limited to 3 lengths, representing short, medium and long distances. Modding possibilities here?
