Yellow ring thing

Alemap · 12-18-06, 02:41 PM

GWX is remarkable by any standards but oh how I miss that yellow ring marker. You know, the one marking your position when you were at periscope depth. I know it wasn't realistic (having written a couple of books about U boat warfare around the UK) but it was doing no harm, showing me where I was and which direction I was pointing in. Any way of getting it back ?

kind regards

There's a "fix" somewhere on the forum for that...although it was for TGW, not GWX.

Use dead reckoning from your pos...or if you have a fix on a ship, press the "." ship's view camera...although it won't give you a position...just a visual of what you're getting into.

The Umark tga is exactly the same from stock - meaning the GW fix will work
You just need to replace it

If you have the Stock Version as well loaded, go into the data\misc folder, copy the Umark.tga file into the same in GWX and this will fix it. I saw this post on another thread, went to download but the file was deleted from the site.
