A couple of questions, if you don't mind.

Hey all!

So, I've been involved with Silent Hunter since the second was released. Followed the development on GWX since it started, having played nearly every version as it came out. I've also been a lurker on these forums for the better part of a couple of years.

Now, I'm faced with a couple of minor conundrums that bug me enough that I want to break down and finally show my face.

1.) I recently discovered OLC's Gold mod and I must say WOW! Has nearly made SH3 a new game to me! One small issue I have though is the ship icon disappearing when I zoom in. I understand it makes the navigation a bit more realistic, but I still prefer to be able to see my boat. Call it a comfort blanket, if you will.

I've caught mention of a small mod that can place that icon back and I can't seem to find it, having looked for it high and low in the search function. Could someone be so kind as to point it out to me?

2.) Having discovered OLC's mod, it has influenced me to attempt manual targetting. Now, so I can completely control the parameters of what environment I want to practice in, I've turned to using the Mission Editor. However, a problem has arised that, again, I can't quite figure out. Is there a function within the editor that allows me to determine what torpedoes my boat is loaded with? I want to practice with the different types, but seem to always end up with a default loadout, so to speak. So, am I missing something? Am I simply looking too hard and overlooking it?

Thanks for taking a moment to read my first post.

And thanks all for your continued enthusiasm and support for such an fascinating hobby.
