how did you get it off the center of your sub? Has yours always been off center? I can't make mine do that....

Has anyone else seen this happen to them? I find it almost impossible for it to be off the center of the sub considering the way I coded it. The only way this can happen is if you tried to use a different bearing plotter or you resized the current one (maybe)

Mine jittered while at TC, but was centered.

I think we all can't wait for this mod to come out.
Any time line??

it will jitter some even when not at TC, especially when at a course other than the cardinal directions. Without access to the C++ code this is the best I could do given what we have. Reason it jitters is due to rounding error when it gets position information. I could make the updating of it more frequent to try and lessen the jitter but then it will start having an impact on FPS and game quality - the game itself will start to jitter. So how I have it now is the best compromise

EDIT:
Actually I don't have center on sub or the bearing overlay updating on my new timer class

.....whoa, that's why it's jittering worse at high TC levels...have to fix this

EDIT2:
I can make it not jitter but then you'd be locked to the center of the maps - I don't want to lock the sub at the center of the map, I want it and the bearing overlays to follow the sub anywhere on the map. Therefore we'll have to live with a little jitter (it'll be much better when they are being updated on my new timer class. I'll make that code change tomorrow)

When I first entered the Nav-Map view it looked like it was centered and then it jumped to the side. I didn't click on anything else and I use the F3 key to get to the Nav Map

Hello with your latest UI mod when i click on a target on the (map updates on) i doesnt give me a speed estimate anymore. Thus i have nothing to work with in terms of speed. Or is there another way to estimate speed? I have manual targeting on.

That is a setting configured in the option file.
Some Kapitan's want more realistic play style ability.

Also, there is a button in the Weapons Officer menu for obtaining target speed.
