Hi Sailor Steve,

I agree with you that the information given about the course is not 100% realistic. Especially, the fact that you are informed instantaneously. However, the crew would definitely recognize a course change after some time and inform the captain. After some more time they would also know roughly (N,NW,...) the new course. Since the crew does not really interact with you in SH3, I consider the course information a good compromise. Both ways are not realistic. Without map information shadowing the contacts is really a lot of work

Cheers, LGN1

PS: You can also edit the menu_*.txt in order to make the course information less accurate or just indicating a course change.
