difficult to see compass on Nav map

10-26-11, 05:22 PM

Being color challenged (some say blind) it is difficult for me to see the compass image on the Nav Map at nightime. How can I darken the compass image or get more contrast from the map background so I can see it better?

Sorry if this is a dumb answer, but have you tried changing colour or luminosity settings directly on your monitor? Could that help?

That quote in your signature is hilarious! It must appeal to my more base instincts!

A little bump for White Owl's Better Protractors mod.
Just loaded it up and it is just the ticket for those having trouble with seeing the compass rose on the screen.
I set the target Aob to it's true course and this really improves my accuracy.

Thanks mate.

"Yup?" said the ship. "Do what I do." The ship thought about this for a few milliseconds and then, after double checking all the seals on its heavy duty bulkheads, it began slowly, inexorably, in the hazy blaze of its lights, to sink to the lowest depths.
