No map updates - no ship wrecks marked

Reece · 02-01-07, 05:18 AM

Hi, just wondered if there is a way of showing the sunken ships on the map while using "No Map Updates" option?

Whoops, supposed to be in Subsim Mods section! sorry Gizz!

Me too. I'd like to have the sunk ships icons, but am not willing to switch "no map updates" off.

I have no idea how (if it is possible) to do it, but I would suggest as an alternative to use the marker and place a mark on the spot. It's not the same I know but I guess it's a solution

Trouble with that is the screen gets rather cluttered & if I hit the eraser - all gone!

How many dozen ships do you normally sink per patrol ?

Reece · 02-01-07, 06:17 AM

Probably only a half dozen,

but just looks like I've done something with the wrecks marked on screen, maybe a small mod can be used to place shipwreck symbol manually on map?

IIRC there was a thread with a suggestion on how to do this...but it was 3 or 4 months ago :hmm:
