New to GWX

[rb4door]

Heya guys,

I've been playing SH3 ever since I first bought it in '05, however last night I finally decided to download GWX. First impressions, well, what can I say - Brilliant!
Totally transforms the game. I know you guys all already know that, but i'm like a kid in a candy store at the moment (you cant wipe the smile off my face). The detail increase is nothing short of superb! Its like i'm playing a brand new game. Much gratitude goes out to the team that made this

I do however have a question regarding the map / chart view.
When I zoom down to the level where you can actually see the outline of the boat or sub, since installing GWX, I now seem to have a very large square of solid grey which blocks me viewing my sub - and any other ship if it is close enough. The sqaure seems to have approximate dimensions of a good 2 to 3 thousand meters around where my sub would be.

Is this a known issue? I have patched GWX to 1.03 - however I never ran it without the 1.03 patch (I installed the patch as soon as I installed GWX), so I dont know if it would do the same thing in an unpatched version of GWX.

The game is still very playable, i'll just have to get used to not being able to zoom all the way in if this is the way it is.

Appologies if my question already has an answer online, I tried looking through the forum and the GWX manual for known issues, but couldnt find anything about it...
