Hi all.

It's been a long time since I made any movies, because I was unable to access my account at YouTube. But, now I can so I'll have to learn all over again how to play the game. One thing I cannot remember is how to get rid of the orange directional circle when I dive my sub. Can anyone help me please.

Thanks.

SH3/Data/Misc/Umark. Just delete it.

Thanks Steve

Isn't there a key-stroke to turn it on and off?

I do not remember there being one. You can always rename the Umark when you want to make a movie, then change it back when you want it to show again.

No. Some mods rename it, or make it a blank file, but no switch or key. HW3's suggestion is a good one if you think you might want to use it again, but deleting it has no effect on the rest of the game. It's not going to crash just because that file's gone.

As I have recently found out, for all its problems and bugs, the game is remarkably stable when dealing with corrupt files..... sigh..... maybe not really playable (backwards turm anyone?)... but stable....
