Help with Nav Map

I guess I need to add ACM reloaded, which I have downloaded, and ACM map light, which I'm waiting for permision to download(exceeded daily download limit). That seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for the replies though.

I simply use the course tool (triangle). Your position is at one end and the distance/time mark is at the other.

When you scroll the map out your position is visible, but the map scale is pretty big. Most useful then when drawing intercept courses.

After installing ACM map light it works just how I want it. I can zoom way in now, which wasn't possible before, and I can see my boat. The last issue I'm having is brightness of the game. Some screens, especially in the attack periscope screen are just too dark. I'm not quite sure if that is fixable in game or if I need to adjust the brightness from my computer when I want to play this game.

In the stickies, keyboard shortcuts, are the commands to brighten and darken the screen.

I forget the exact combo, ctrl-pgup??, else I'd tell you.

Do realize that is was probably intended. Bright white sections on the screen, like the dials or white metal like graphics, ruin your eye's sensitivity to other dark objects in the view. By reducing the brightness a little your eyes accustom to see better in the darkness. Which is the prime reason for looking at the periscope screen. Similarly it pays to reduce the ambient lighting in your computer environment. Avoid looking directly into lamps. Even an indirectly lit wall might be too much.

But I understand one still needs to be able to see their keyboard and so on.
