Without map updates

Kpt. Weyprecht · 07-07-08, 03:51 AM

I don't know if CTDs are due to OLC GUI or to my system, I'd say the latter... Anyway, I was wondering how to use MoBo in the "realistic map updates" mode, when I know my position only approximatively since in a zoomed-in view ownskip and contacts aren't marked any more. It's all right when I actually have a contact spotted or heard so I can stick with moboard approach and all I draw is relative, but I'm a little embarassed with intercepting ships reported by radio when their position is as uncertain as mine.
I suppose I should keep a track of my own position on MoBo to do it properly?

Strange; I wonder what your system is doing that would cause that. I've been able to successfully ScrPrt and tab-out of SH3 and SH4 under XP pro and now Vista64 Pro.

But anyway...

MoBo is not really designed to be a DRT for the entire ocean(s) or at least not version 1.1. You would need to track your position by marking it with the pencil on the nav map in the game.

For your situation, MoBo could be used as a maneuvering board station for solving relative motion problems and tracking/intercepting contacts within sensor range or via radio contact data.

As a moboard station, your subs position is always at the center... there's no guesswork involved. You're tracking the relative motion of the target to determine true course and speed. Once you have that information, you can plot your attack strategy.
