Solid line at Own Ship stern instead of course?

Heya! Yes, I read your post on cavitation and agree. Maneauvering isn't going to cavitate, regardless of the ordered bell, unless you explicitly tell them to. On the Lafayette-class boomers that was done via a little button the helmsman would push 3 times that would ring the bell in maneauvering 3 times, and via the 7MC, "Maneuvering, Conn, Cavitate". "Cavitate, Conn Maneuvering Aye".

And yes, it's a sim, but the passive broadband system and displays are remarkably similar to what I remember, with the exception of the Own-Ship Course vs Stern line I mention. That makes me think the fleet has changed, since the makers of the game went to such lengths to get the rest of that display right.

Do you have any experience in 688 or SSN21 such that you can confirm the presence of that stern line?

BTW, I played the Jane's "688" computer game before this, years ago, which this game is obviously drawn from, and I don't recall that waterfall having the stern line, I recall it having OS course.
