I dismissed this one, too, because the functionality it provides is very different from the Assisted Plotting Mod, they have fundamentally different purposes.
Further to my last post, I am now pretty satisfied with my tests. These tests aren't exhaustive, nor particularly scientific, but have provided me with useful comparisons. In a nutshell, for Assisted Plotting to be at all functional in GWX, then h.sie's No Continuous Ship Spotted mod is essential. It can be found here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=154745 Without it, Assisted Plotting disrupts the use of time compression so much - especially in port, my testing environment - that it effectively makes TC unusable under certain circumstances. With both Assisted Plotting and No Continuous Ship Spotted, time compression does not function as well as plain GWX without Assisted Plotting, but it is at least functional, in addition to providing the benefits of Assisted Plotting.
A final point is that, from what I can see, the Watch Officer in GWX is quite "trigger happy" anyway, at least in port. In fact, going forward, even if I were to dump Assisted Plotting, I'd probably use No Continuous Ship Spotted anyway. YMMV vOv
Thanks for the help so far. I'll keep this thread posted with any new observations. Similarly, if anyone else wishes to weigh in with observations of their own, that would be great o7

Hey there, I know I am a bit late here and maybe not even at the right place, but here it goes.

As far as I understand Observer's Assisted Plotting Mod is included by default in NYGM supermod, which is what I try these days.

However, while the mod seems to work for warships, zooming in maximum I can still see the ship icons for merchants (and weirdly some colored black and some colored red, even if they are all merchants from the same nation).

Seeing that you have tweaked this mod a bit, I thought maybe you could advise how I can get this work as it should.

Thanks,

Hey Fifi, thanks for the suggestion. Did a quick test with it. While it is certainly better than the stock, it still gives real time moving dots on the map, thus an unrealistic level of awareness. I think I may have messed up some of the mod installations, since I could not find anyone having the problem similar to mine.

You’re welcome, but it’s normal the black dots are moving

I’m not aware of a mod with static black contacts anyway...

Hi,
This looks a great mod but the map is not at full size.
There is a black panel to the right on the map.
I am using NYGM with WAC MaGui for NYGM v2017A - 1366x768.
Many thanks if you can help.

Ok, with stock NYGM assisted plotting mod, when zooming close we Still see ships icons.
We would have to delete all ship.tga in all the data/sea folder To get rid of those icons

Or make transparent ship.tga for all ships in data/sea...
Or other solution would be to disallow the zoom going so close!
Don’t know how to do it though...
