BTW if you go into realism setting and click "REALISTIC" you get the recommended settings for the mod (which are different in MkIId than what they were when the video tuts were recorded).
I was only able to put in about 5 hours yesterday evening... I noticed the contacts when zoomed all the way out.

When I first started using this mod, I was a bit intimidated by the lack of zoom, contacts, and no help with the solution. In fact I went berzerk for a while and drove my boat around like a madman at the academy with an 'okay, how about if i get close enough to where there's no solution that could miss' attitude.

After calming down and reviewing parts of the videos again, several key points sunk in, and the term "true bearing" among others has more meaning to me now. Made it for quite a different game. I'd hate to do without this mod now...
