I'm going to give this shot.

Would there be any problems if I made these changes in the middle of a patrol or should I wait until I get back to port?

Also, why do I need to make those changes to the cfg file? Shouldn't I just need to replace the sub icon?

Thank you

You only change to invisible the "zoomed-in" version of your sub icon, so, in order to be able to zoom out at the nav-map without your sub icon appearing as it changes from one version to the other (spoiling the whole purpouse) you must change your game's config files so that change only occurs when you zoom way, waaaay out on the nav-map. That way, you can't derive precise information about your location by simply zooming out in the nav-map.

Why not just make both icons invisible (that is, including the zoomed out version)? because that would make all other subs disapear also. Besides, it feels right being able to look at your sub when zoomed out to the max, since that gives you a very vage idea of your general location, which is at least as much as any half-witted navigator could have supplied for you.

Right on

. And yes IronX you can make this changes at any time there is no problem with that, and then after you experiment it tell me what do you think of this type of gameplay.

Sorry for the double post here but I need to bump this so that my new question may be examined.

I have just started out on my first manual nav patrol. So far so good but I have noticed one little thing.

On the nav map, all of the box or diamond ship icons and the triangle aircraft icons have now been replaced with the icons which I would have only previously seen if I had zoomed right in. i.e. the silhouette icons.

These are visible on the map until I zoom out until the maximum range is about 5000m on the scale bar on the bottom left. All icons disappear completely if I zoom out further until my sub icon becomes visible again at max. zoom out levels.

I just followed the directions in this thread. Have I done something wrong or is this just a side effect of making my position on the nav map invisible?

Thank you,

M

N.B. This is also my first time running with GWX 1.02. Perhaps this version of GWX is the culprit?

Count on me as a new recruit, though I need some time to master "regular" navigation and charting, before...

This thread is first class stuff, anyway...

I presume you are playing with map contact updates right? If you want to play with manual navigation i recommend you to switch the contacts off, because it kind of defeats the whole purpose of it when your sonar guy draws bearing lines on the map it reveals your position and if wou see where the contacts are on the map they are near your present position and once again it defeats the purpose of it.
