So... one vote for good as-is then, eh?
I wonder if I can clean up that ingame "Realism Settings" menu a bit. Which options would we actually WANT in there?
I figure it'd be nice to add "Iron Man Mode" as an option in there too.
The switch between "Old looking status radar" and "New looking status radar" is handled through the equipping of compasses now and these options aren't used.
UNLESS you use the Advanced Options setting for that. But do we even need that?
Does anyone remember what "On-screen display during sailing" does?
My thoughts would be to try to re-purpose the buttons:
- Arcade Game Mode
- Realistic Game Mode
- Iron Man Mode
[............empty space..........]
- "Old looking status radar" (button only enabled if using Arcade)
- "New looking status radar" (button only enabled if using Arcade)
Completely remove:
This setting can be removed and added to Arcade Game Mode too, I reckon:
This can be included in Iron Man Mode:
I've got some more suggestions on removing more of the BuildSettings, but I'll wait with mentioning those until we've discussed these.

Completely remove:
Code:
bool DISPLAY_BATTLEINTERFACE = false;
// Show the BattleInterface compass/chart display
// 0: Only if you have a compass equipped
// 1: Depending on the settings in the options menu
This setting can be removed and added to Arcade Game Mode too, I reckon:
Code:
bool DISPLAY_MAP_POSITION = false;
// Display the position of your ship on the Map Interface
// 0: Only if you have a Sextant and a Chronometer
// 1: Always display your ship's position
This can be included in Iron Man Mode:
Code:
bool ITEM_REALISM = false;
// if true : items like rubies, diamonds and inca statuettes give no skill bonuses (books and items like compass etc. still do)
