Red contact lines for warships

predavolk · 03-27-08, 01:01 PM

Someone had a quick little mod to turn warship sonar contacts red rather than black/grey. That would help substantially when attacking a convoy and all you get is a mush of black. It's the kind of thing a weapon's officer would be very helpful with, if I ever turned that option on.

If someone has it, knows of it, I'd love to know where I can download it. Thanks!

The simplest way is to enable it with JSGME

Has the unfortunate side effect tho of adding the tails back to contacts (and own boat) and red/blue colors for friendly/enemy contacts.

I kind of like not having the tails or colors. Makes me work harder.......

Oh. I just downloaded it, but I have no interest in making friendly and enemy contacts turn red and blue- does it do that only for contacts that you've seen, or does it do it for radio contacts too? And what's a tail? Recent direction of travel? Not interested in that either. Any further info would be appreciated, as I would like to just have sonar (or visual) red warship contacts. Thanks!

Was wondering that myself.
I like GWX but I'm not sure removing the colored contacts for warships is more realistic. If it's possible to tell a warship from a merchant, then a WO can certainly use 2 different pencils to mark them.
