...so the moment I knew that the in-game status reports reveal the ship coordinates, I started plotting my position in the map and relying on the sextant guy. He's never let me down.

I had never thought of that, pretty clever.

I'm tempted to try CelNav again (someday).

Would it be possible to mod the game such that one could use and make marks on the 'Attack plot'? The idea here is the Nav plot would be used for navigation as you describe, but the 'Attack plot' could be used with a 'dead-reckoning indicator', and provide a certain reference for your boat.

Maybe, but I can't tell you for sure. My knowledge of the game is quite limited and I'm not what one would call a modder. Actually, I'm not using subs any more in the game, but surface ships. After reading your question I checked the attack map and surprise! There was this little line (not sure what it was) revealing the position of the ship. This doesn't happen in the navigation map any more with this mod.

By the way, I haven't been able to get rid of the Ctrl+Left click command yet, the one that centers the nav map on the position of the sub. I didn't find anything under Data/Cfg/Commands.cfg...

Any ideas?

I'm not a modder either. I just thought it would be neat if someone could have some type of Cel Nav and still retain a useful attack plot.

There was this little line (not sure what it was) revealing the position of the ship.

This would be the torpedo firing solution that the TDC is generating. IIRC, RFB eliminates most of it, so you only see your own boat and land mases, no contacts. I never really used it, as it basically tells you, in advance, wether or not your torpedos will hit....... rather too easy.

I don't know, but I would think if you knew the right file to look at, you could eliminate this. It's not like you need to add any new functionality.

I thought so. If this is the case, it could be easily removed modifying Data\Menu\Gui\DashLine.dds. I'll leave it for the moment since the attack map is not going to affect the navigation at all.

Thanks for answering

"File not found"...Any help guys?

I just updated the download link in the first post. I believe it takes some time (maybe a few hours, not sure) for it to be operative. If you have any problem downloading, let me know.
