Requesting help: Map Contact

Luftan · 04-24-16, 04:42 AM

Hello.

Im a new member here, and recent purchased the SH5 and modded with Steel of Wolfs. I believe I have everything set up correctly, with the latest patch installed w/smoke addon.

My question is, while I enjoy decent realism and manual torpedo targeting... I would really love to have contact shown on my map. Ive ticket the "show contact on map" option both in the main option menu, as well as the mini menu with-in the map. Still, no luck.

Is there any way to fix this?

Do not enable the Real Navigation mod in JSGME
Check the settings in TDW's Option File Editor Viewer > Nav Map & TAI Map settings > Visual Contacts need to be enabled.
Any changes need to be done with the mods disabled.
See my tutorials if you do not know hoe to do this.

If you disable "no map contacts" option in game options contacts should be visible in your tactical map (not nav map) by default and without any additional OFEV settings . Also, real nav addon should be disabled if you want to see your contacts on TAI map, as Peter has already said...

Hello, sorry for the late reply. I was busy playing

Turns out I had to tweak the game setting while in the dock, not just the fileditor or the main option menu. However I have one last really annoying problem.

I was able to mark a hit on the BB of a task force. It took a while for her to sunk, and count on my captain`s log. But she sunk.
I wanted to see the boat sunk, so I decided to go back to the save file 5 or so minutes before the BB sunk... (yeah, bad idea). Now, the battleship is completely unharmed

I would atleast want to be able to add the sunken ship number and tonnage to my patrol log. Is this possible in TWOS, or by editing some file?
