Hi B
I mean't to mention that you did the whole of that first episode with Travel Mode enabled.
With Real Navigation I would advise disabling Travel Mode from TDW's OFEV HUD Tab.
Because you cannot accurately know where your boat is, with Travel Mode enabled you could easily crash your boat because you will not get any warning.
Your Navigator's accuracy can be + or - 5,000 meters from the latest map plot position depending on how the Real Navigation settings are in the Real Navigation Tab

Thx I’ll look into this. I was a little fuzzy on travel mode and how to determine even if it was activated. I was trying to be careful instead... but maybe I should deactivate. I suppose I could just unclick it in the top right or do I have to hard disable it in the mod enabler?

HiB
You will know as soon as your game loads if it is lit then it is enabled in the OFEV.
As I said with RN you really do not want to be using this as at some point it will cause you a problem.
It is a useful tool when you can see your boat on the map.
