curious about maps in command room

shegeek72 · 04-30-07, 02:54 AM

In a GWX patrol in a IXB and was a little curious about these two maps in the WO station. The top is obviously topedo targeting, but can't figure out what the one in the bottom is, even after right-clicking on the WO for a better look.

It kinda looks like the crew management screen, but that wouldn't make sense IRL A family photo montage?

:hmm:

Just noticed the NA map is different, too. Graphics anomoly?

That happens only when I minimize the game.

Could be. I've noticed that sometimes my maps become psychedelic (been smoking a little something, Private?) but a save and reload seems to fix it.

How do you get those maps to look like the nav and tdc maps? Mine are always blank with only my boat on it.

Must be a part of GWX because mine look like that but I've done nothing else that would change it.

After you set the resolution for the Nav map, go back to the Control Room. Right-click on the Navigator and you will now see the same picture as the actual F5 map. Now right-click back to the Control Room, and you will see that same picture when you look over his shoulder. That map will stay the same until you repeat the process.

Same procedure with the Attack Map.

...yep.
And this procedure will also correct the graphical error from the 2nd screenshot.
