What Meldric said is correct, those ghost contacts are the (at least estimated) positions of the contact at the time you reach the last waypoint you actually are defining. Just like a help for people who cannot compute an intercept course. However, i agree to at least have an option to remove them entirely. If not possible, remove them completely. If possible, that is.

I call these contacts that appear when you drag a waypoint 'Waypoint contacts'. Here are those waypoint contacts with same shape and no color:
so now I can make them disappear, change shape, basically do whatever I want them to do. I'll be releasing a new version 3.9.3 with this fix. |

Could an early-war U-Boat detect surface contacts with it's hydrophones?
Sailor Steve has told me categorically 'no'. Why is there a rotating radar loop on my '39 U-Boat? My pointer keeps disappearing when the ID manual is brought up, making this U.I. Mod unplayable I don't wanna have to press Shift+Z several times to bring it back. This is obviously a problem with a lesser than optimum resolution. In the screenshot below you'll see that almost the entire viewport is obscured by this gubbins, can we move it somewhere else? I know there's a toggle to switch it off, but it shouldn't be there in the first place and if you switch off this part of the interface then how the hell do you use the stadimeter?! It's symptomatic of a poorly desgined U.I. I'm talking about the initial design, not the great work you've done DW. Please test your U.I. in the 16:9 Res to see what I mean.

I like you mod, installed it today with a bunch of other mods I had running at the time, got a whole bunch of Program stopped responding errors and it took me a bit to get it all worked out. Played one game, now when I attempt to load the game again the Program terminates again on loading. I have uninstalled the game and am loading it back on as I type, will report back later on.
In the meantime is there a load order for this mod, I mean what mod do I load first, second, third? Your UI mod wants to be over ridden by some of the other mods that you have added to the overall mod no matter what order I load them. Any insight, thanks.

Awesome!
Just installed the SH5 UI. It is truly a game changer!
Thanks for all of your hard work. |

I'm looking to add an add-on mod to disable the hydrophone when surfaced. |

Well TDW, I know I said it a hundred times, but I need to tell you once again: You're the man!
I'll just try the new version! Thank you for your great work! |
