OLC Gold help needed

WeeBubba · 08-03-09, 05:06 AM

does anybody know how I can switch the map contact updates on whilst using OLC Gold? I understand that this option is supposed to be turned OFF when using this mod, but I think this will help me learn the attack disc etc. much quicker. this is how it is demonstrated in OLC's video tutorial.

thanks for any help with this.

Not anymore. Since Gold (or some version of it anyway) OLC made chages to the way short-range mapcontacts are displayed if it is allowed (no checkmark in the realism setting). But it won't help you much in learning manual targeting since the contacts only appear when zoomed out to a certain level. He intended it as an overview of the situation rather than using it to measure positions. I don't know how to alow them at deeper zoomlevels though.

Open maps.cfg found at data\Menu\cfg. I think that if you reduce the value of the parameter "SymbolZoom" might do the job.

Code:

[Map0]
MapID=Navigation_map
Position=0,0
Resolution=1024,656
MajorSqrs=4,2.52
MinorSqrs=5,5
PixPerUnit=50
ZoomLevels=10,20,50,100,200,500,1000,2000,4000,7000,10000,20000;,40000; meters per pixel
InitialZoom=10
SymbolZoom=500;units are drawn as symbols from this zoom up
GroupsZoom=500;units are drawn in groups from this zoom up
CityZoom=7000;city names are hidden from this zoom up
KriegZoom=2000;krieg labels are separated displayed from this zoom up
HarborZoom=500;harbors will be hidden from this zoom up

how do you guys find the position of your own Uboat?

I ask, because the icon for the UBoat is also not visible.

Hi h.sie.

Do you mean "mark" the Uboat's position (rather than find)?

hi tomtom,

i mean the position of my sub on the nav.map. in default gwx there is an icon for it.
