I always delete my plotted course when in action and plot it anew soon after. It's useless when hunting, and there is a nasty bug that almost killed me a few times long time ago (navigating forward manually works well even if you have your course plotted previously, but when you order "engines backwards" [or however this is called in English] the boat changes course to follow the plotted path, thus destroying your magnificent plan of anihilating enemy...).

I wouldn't call it "useless" far from it IMO, but that's beside the point which is that when I'm manually navigating I still don't delete the course. It acts as a positional marker and saves me re-plotting the course again after the attack. Might be worth a try for you.

This isn't ideal, I admit. I would prefer to have some kind of "proper" position marker, but doing that results in map markers being displayed for enemy subs, friendly subs, or both (depending how you do it).

One last trick for you. Go to navmap and CTRL+LeftClick on the map. The map will reposition so your sub is where you clicked. Might be useful to you. *shrug*

I'm replacing the OLC GUI Special download on my FF page with a new version - exactly the same as the last one, except that the torpedo graphics on the weapon management screens now really are fixed (i.e. updated to match GWX 2.1) just like I claimed they were in version.... whatever it was.

It's uploading now. (Edit: done

)

@OLC

Just installed last updates (Ubermod 2.2) and amazed to see that the attack periscope doesn't turn (observation periscope is working fine)...
Do you have any idea about that?

Thanks for your help

Well… Seeing another U-Boots on the map doesn't seem to be a disadvantage at all to me.

Contrary – it's quite appealing and in my opinion it would add some fun (wouldn't feel so lonely deep there). U-Boot commanders had a slight idea of what boats are there in the sea and where... at least they should. It wouldn't spoil much, as I don't see any way of using this information for my benefit when playing.

So, would you share a bit of your knowledge – how to modify your files so that friendly subs and my one are visible on the map?

Well, all is working fine... I just discover I cannot upgrade my IXB with a IX/2 tower, it blocks my attack periscope. That's all!

Is this a bug in my mod or not? I mean, if you upgrade your IXB with a IX/2 tower without my mod installed, does that work?

The quickest way is to disable OLC GUI Special, delete the Submarine folder from OLC GUI Special, then re-enable it. That might still not be ideal... give it a try and see... if it doesn't work so well you'll need to mess around with maps.cfg to suit your taste.
