There is a "realistic contacts" mod that removes all map contacts, including those that come with B-Dienst messages. I'm using it in my youtube let's play and it makes for a very challenging game!

I found that, or something that does the same thing in the downloads section. Keeping track of where you are helps pass the time during those long patrols.

Thanks for the help

I have been interested in trying this myself but I have to ask since I really don't know. Without the game showing where you are how do you know your location? Do you plot your heading, and use speed and time to determine location during the entire patrol? And if you use this mod, when you plot a course using the in game tool does it still show you the time to each waypoint or does this mod eliminate the ability to set a course using the in game tool?

I use real navigation. Just Neff to no use contacts, hide the boat, change the icon in dollar with empty transparent tga file. Yes you use time and distance and no the plot tool.
She have real navigation script wish update your location by a mark. I use the plot tool for lol the real protein when I see the weather let me calculated star or si position. The weather define wish zoom I use. Is playing with rules.

I only use plot for kiel Canal, some ports as Bordeaux.
