Some questions about mod order..

I think you need "Sobers Map Colors SH5 V1" mod to be able to select the colours from the Generic Patcher!

No.. he doesn't need anything else to choose colors.. sober's map colors is just a gradient of the map file.. there are many gradient files here around.. Generic Patcher changes colors of the map tools.. completely different things..

True, I got the colour working.
So there is one more thing. My navigator is taking his sweet time calculating my position. Is there a way to make him work faster?
Allso when he have calculated the position the mark he makes on my small map keeps going away, how to make it stay there? It is on my navigation map though.
I allso have a question about the real navigation script. Do I have to swap all the time to use the one that matches the time in the game?

When I asked the same, I was told to not use the TAI at all.

I've since concluded that it's perfect for torpedo plotting .. as it's irrelevant where you are for that. You need to know where the target is relative to you. So mark a spot, and calculate from that spot .. and your solutions will work fine and your nav map will be for just that ... nav.

It's not ideal but it works.

No. You start the one that matches current local time. So if you load a save, and it's 14.27 in-game when you load, you have to start the one that has this time in it's range.

U can change the map tools color in game also ...right click on the map tool and a window will show up and from there u change the color. U must do that for each map tool

I do use my nav map for navigation. It is not a problem that the mark go away on the TAI map, all I have to do is tell nav.officer to report last position. Then it pop up on TAI for a few sec. And I start calculating my attack.

Sweet stuff. No more micromanaging the nav.officer

Thanks allot for the help guys. Wonderful community you have going here. No bitching for asking newbie questions that must have been asked a few times allready.

Kudos and thumbs up for you guys !

Hello again everyone!
I`m having some issues with my tprpedo attacks. Seems like the torpedos are hitting early. I have paused the game to get accurate plotting of my attack, still they hit early. That makes me wonder if I have the correct Scope mod. I am using the default from DarkWraith Ui mod.
My screen resolution are 1680X1050.
I have been looking around here for a while, but have not found any post about it....

Did you use any mod to correct the stadimeter or used the .exe patcher to fix it ? If not, it's bugged .. might explain it ?
