Hi Reaper,
I'd like to make a proposal. Would you be willing to think about tidying up the GUI a bit? If you look at the two following scrots you'll see what I mean.
This one is TDW with quite a lot of stuff:
This is HRI with quite a lot of stuff (but not even the TAI-map open...):
Both have been taken on my 24" in 1920x1200. Should be space enough.
The first thing, and probably most important, is that the scope is noticeably larger in TDW. It does not look better (black cardboard), but it is larger, which is good. Basically the same is true for the OBS and the binoculars.
I think one must also admit that the TDW-GUI looks somewhat cleaner - I know this is achieved by introducing elements that do not exist in a real sub, but anyway. Personally I find it hard sometimes to place all the stuff I need on the HRI-screen without covering other elements.
So I wonder if it would be possible to gain some more space (for a larger scope e.g.) without sacrificing the authentical look.
What do you think?
