Yes quite an irratating on this. I restarted a new campaign and got the obs auto rising in the tutorial. But when I go back to my loaded games or select a mission the problem is gone, really confusing.
I'm sure I'll figure it out, but it might be worth saving in dock then uninstalling my mod. Then play a few min using stock save again then reload the Mod, see if that stops the issue.

Any chance you can post a screen shot of the problem. You can take a screenshot in SH5 using CTRL+F11. The bmp's are lotacted in the default SH5 directory.
Thanks.

Hi guys. Can anyone please tell me how this piece of art looks on a 22 running at 1680x1050? Will it still look better than the original dials and scopes even at those (not optimal) resolutions? Thank you and great work by the way.

You should have no problem running at that resolution Frantic8882.
It's designed to run optimally at 1920*1200. It will still be perfect but dials and panels will appear a little bigger than designed for, but it should still look great and work perfectly .

I actually run it on my PC at 1440*900 as thats what my monitor supports.
I only Test it on My 47"HD TV at 1080P .

Ok, great, will get myself a new UI.

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?

Yes, but now hide all the stuff on TDW UI


See where I'm going I designed mine that you only have what you need on screen at the time you need it.

As for a larger scope, well the Obs scope takes care of that

well, the OBS is somewhat supplemental to me whereas the attack scope ist the real thing. Also it is easier to spot for the enemy...

Actually I need everything you see on my scrot from HRI (+ the TAI-map) when it comes to battle.

- I cannot switch off the left part of the TDC as it holds the torpedo-speed switch (and there is no shortcut for using that as far as I know).
- I need the panel with the tube-switches obviously, although some functions have shortcuts.
- I need the right part of the TDC of course for depth, spreadangle etc..
- I can't switch off ERM/XO-dialogue for obvious reasons.
- I need dials for speed, course and depth.
- I cannot set aside the officers/command-panel either.
- I still have no space for the clock, let alone the wiz-wheel.
- I still can't see the periscope-indicator as it is covered already.

When the going gets rough I am busy with organizing the attack, plotting, metering, steering the boat. I don't want to be busy with pushing the UI around.

See, I do not propose a complete redesign, just tweaking the UI-elements a bit size-wise - and a larger scope
