Thanks for the replies. One thing to mention though, the icon I'm looking for is the one that puts your own ship on the navmap, not the orange marker on the external camera. That icon is useless to me because I always have External switched off. It's not a big deal really, I can still function without it. It'd just be nice to have it so I can be a little bit lazy about calculating my location on the map.

The funny thing is the actual reason I have the External switched off. I've never been one to enjoy really deep water and when I watch my targets sink or observe my boat while it's underwater, I tend to feel a little queasy. Does that happen to anybody else? Or did I just provide some ammunition for others to make fun of.

Anyway, happy hunting!

That's a good reason to not use it. For me it's not that real, so I don't worry about it. There have been a couple of players who refused to play SH3 because they felt bad about sinking Allied ships. It's all good. I'm addicted to screenshots myself, so I leave external views on.

Actually, not too long ago there was a whole thread on that subject----

Wow, thanks, Torplexed! Now I don't feel so bad.
