A little help with TM 1.4 please

How would one change the way enemy ships icons appear on the map so you get a idea where they are headed.All there is now,is a round ball type marker,w/o a pointing arrow,for lack of a better word.I know that is way arcadish for some of you skippers,but I play at normal difficult level,and I don't use manual targeting.I really feel stupid for asking for help with such a problem,but thats the way I enjoy playing.I feel 85 on Ducimus difficulty setup is fair enough,I just don't care to do all the targeting work.
I have said it before and I'll say it again,Ducimus and all the other modders have very simply made SH4 a superb sim,and w/o them,we skippers wouldn't have nearly as great a sim as SH4 is.Salute to them all!
Thank you for any help in advance.

Delete these two files from the mod and your map pretty much goes back to the way it looked in SH4 1.3

data/menu/gui/ContLline.dds
data/menu/gui/DashLine.dds

Yes, Kudo's to Ducimus for his excellent Mod Pack, and his documentation. It is so well done that I was able to add my own favorite mod to his package with ease. Now I can "have it all"!

Its really very scalable for those seeking a different experience. I am very happy with SH4 now.

Except these files don't restore the sihouettes. The black blob remains. Any idea what file you need to get these back?

Check out the main Trigger Thread, something was just posted there, though it sounds like it may take some time to do the editing.
