For those Skippers who still like to see where their sub is when it is underwater but are using a Mod that removes it, here is a Mod that will bring it back.
I am not sure what they call this marking thing but I call it - The Sub Underwater Marker.

Here is a picture of what I am talking about.






All this Mod does is put the original file back in the game.
This Mod is setup to be installed with JSGME.

To download this Mod go here.

Install this Mod last. When you do install it JSGME will ask if you want to replace this file with another one. Just say Yes.

If you want to manually install it go to the drive you have Silent Hunter installed, then go to the Data file, then to the Misc file and place the UMark.dds in the Misc file.

This will work for both versions 1.4 and 1.5

You can install this Mod at anytime. You do not have to be in the Office to install it.

-----------------

For any of you that play the basic 1.4 or 1.5 versions and would like to have the Sub Underwater Marker removed, you can go here to download the Remove Sub Underwater Marker Mod.

The install instructions are the same as above.

Interesting. I'm running stock 1.4 and the marker appears on by default. I can even see it sometimes through the periscope when I look down when near the surface! I find it rather annoying and would like to turn it off. Does anyone know if this is an optional setting that can be toggled on or off?

Cheers

You would have to replace the existing umark.dds with a blank mask. Or you could MOD one in using JSGME. There is no switch in the game.

Hello noobisoft,
If you want to remove the Sub Underwater Marker here is a mod that will do that.

Download it here.

This mod is setup to use JSGME.

If you want to manually install it go to the drive you have Silent Hunter installed, go to the Data file, click that, then go to the Misc file and put this UMark.dds in the Misc folder.
It will ask you if you want to replace the file. Say Yes.

Here is a 'smaller' underwater marker...Jyst teh arrow head without the circle... it's much less noticeable.

I wish someone would change the orange color to something more subtle like green or grey that youcould see if you look closely but that wouldn't be Brightly visible from even a short distance..

Making it small and less noticeable means the airplanes won't see it as easy.

If you are doing a screen shot and want to remove the marker for a picture you just have to hit the Ctrl + Del key on the number pad to make it disappear, then Ctrl + Del key on the number pad to make it come back.
Just hitting the Del key on the number pad gets rid of the gauges, etc for a clean screen shot.

(the truth is airplanes can't see the marker)

if you want the sub marker with vanilla 1.4 or 1.5 hit crtl+num del to turn it on or off.i do not understand why the u-marker is removed when useing mods when the toggle feature is built into the game.

thank you for the info
