Manual Navigation
Hey all, I'm a new(ish) player, I actually got it off steam a couple years ago, but then my computer exploded only a few days later. We're an Apple household, so it's been awhile till i could pick up an extra windows machine.
Anyway, I'm running GWX, with the god mode marker turned off, but I dont feel confident enough to use manual targeting yet. On the navigation map Ships aren't marked on the map when spotted but there's still a little circle around my position. I want to do fully manual navigation, is there something else that i need to select in my realism settings or is there a mod to use? SH3 (Steam)- GWX HP 15- Windows 10 64b AMD A10 2.5Ghz 8GB RAM |

Oh, I will check that out.
I do have Commander installed, but it doesn't look anything like that. Is that a different version? And HD? Is that widescreen?

Clarification
Sorry, I just reread my original post and realized i could have been a little clearer on what it is I am trying to accomplish. I don't want there to be any ship locations tracked on the navigation map automatically, including mine. I want to have to keep track of my position and mark other ships.

Hi alex
Tick the 'No contact update' option and you will only see your boat on the map. You cannot remove your boat from the map unfortunately. SH3Commander and GWX are a great combination. You do need an extra file called SH3 config to work with the latest GWX3.0 version. SH3C offers you many options to add more realistic game play and career and crew options also. These post below will give you a good idea of what you can do when added to GWX3.0. Post #11 SH3Commander > Making Changes > New Career > Launching LSH3. Post #12 Launching LSH3 With SH3Commander > Starting The Mission > Difficulty Settings. Post #19 Setting Up Patrol 2 > Creating A Personnel File > Managing The Crew With SH3Commander. Post #20 Loading Patrol 2 From SH3Commander. Peter

Found it!
I found that, or something that does the same thing in the downloads section. Keeping track of where you are helps pass the time during those long patrols.
Thanks for the help |

I have been interested in trying this myself but I have to ask since I really don't know. Without the game showing where you are how do you know your location? Do you plot your heading, and use speed and time to determine location during the entire patrol? And if you use this mod, when you plot a course using the in game tool does it still show you the time to each waypoint or does this mod eliminate the ability to set a course using the in game tool?

I use real navigation. Just Neff to no use contacts, hide the boat, change the icon in dollar with empty transparent tga file. Yes you use time and distance and no the plot tool.
She have real navigation script wish update your location by a mark. I use the plot tool for lol the real protein when I see the weather let me calculated star or si position. The weather define wish zoom I use. Is playing with rules. I only use plot for kiel Canal, some ports as Bordeaux.
