Using the MAP with RUB 1.44 ( Confused new Captain )

remilton · 10-12-05, 06:26 PM

I loaded up RUB 1.44, yearning for the realism and improvements promised. I like what I see, but for one thing. When I finally find a ship and go to chart its speed and course, I am confused by what I find on the map screen, or rather lack of. The ship icons on the map disappear as I zoom in the last few levels.

I find to mark and plot a ships position I have to zoom out a few levels in order to see anything on the map but gridlines and compass lines. :hmm: Is this normal?

Ye. itÂ´s normal in RUB.

i think that is necessary do the solution with a low zoom. if not, the ships dissapears.

I have found the solution to this in the mod forum.

It will be fairly painless to put a custom mod togather. Then I can use the "Generic Mod Enabler" to install it over top of RUB to get the desired result.

She is made of iron, sir. I assure you, she can. and she will. It is a mathematical certainty. Strength and honor
