When I installed the Mod TDW said you need to install each version (v0.0.1, v0.0.2, v0.0.3) I made patch 1 & 2, any thoughts why my ship doesn't show up?

It takes somewhere between 30 mins and 1 hour for the mark to appear. This is to simulate the time it would take the navigator to measure the stars/sun position in the sky to pinpoint your location.

If you want an immediate map mark added, use dead reconing.

What 4 is he talking about? When I tried to change (for example) FF222222 to GG222222 the computer wouldn't let me. Could someone give an example as to what to change the code to. I hope this is the right place to ask for help.

TDW has released a downloadable patcher that will patch your .exe for you. meaning that you no longer have to use a hex editor. look towards the bottom of his .exe mod page.

Here is the link to his .exe mod page -----> http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...39&postcount=1
