Hey IGD.

I have been sailing the Pacific for a little while now, but am still a novice so take my comments with whatever weight you choose.

I set realism at 90% - it would be 100% but I cant resist using the external camera to watch the fruits of my labours (I love explosions).

You may notice that update map contacts does not affect realism count (I have TMO loaded so this may be incorrect for stock).

I rationalise it this way:

Realistically, I would not be the only crewman on the bridge. Therefore I would have someone constantly updating the map while I did captainly things like shout orders and drink hot tea.

So to have contact updates on is infact MORE realistic!

Besides the map tools are just not up to it - the crosses have to have a timestamp at least for them to be useful.

BTW: Does anyone else find themselves giving orders? My wife caught me the other day telling the computer to open tubes 1 thru 4.
