Description
GWX 3.0 Rafael DSK GUI. Read the PDF file too.

One thing I really missed a long time in SH3, was the ability to have precise and big dials for the main steering of the U-Boat.

That main steering is the most important thing in a simulation, what genre ever, which were really to small, to inaccurate, to uncomfortable and really to "arcade looking" in my opinion.

I changed several things in the DSK mod to make it compatible with GWX 3.0.

Now you have the option to play GWX 3.0 with big dials and a new bottom and side menu!

The menu is a pop-in and pop-out type, all dials and TDC-dials are always on hand. Furthermore your navigation map has been changed too.

And there is much more ... just drag the rudder pointer to a new course.
See the bearing indicator (small texture) on top of your compass!

===================

OPTIONAL:

Compatible with Anvart's Flag and Antenna Mod!

Furthermore, if you want to add Anvart's "DFa_UpDnRot_Flags_final", use the following keys:

Shift+F and CTRL+F to raise and lower the German (swastika) flag.

Shift+V and CTRL+V to raise and lower the DF antenna.

This will automatically work too with this GUI.

But you need to download Anvart's DFa_UpDnRot_Flags_final and delete first the Cfg folder (from Anvart), because it has been integrated with this GUI mod.

Path: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg

Do NOT delete the Commands_en.cfg from this GUI!

===================

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Uninstall for this GUI mod the: GWX - Integrated Orders!

All integrated orders are replaced with this DSK GUI mod.

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

The binocular with hands:


Binocular with hands and bearing indicator because GWX has disabled it.

In my opinion that is no step backward in realism, because in real life you would have a 'feeling' in which direction you would look.

I don't have that feeling watching a screen and using my mouse.

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

INSTALLATION:

1) Uninstall (disable) GWX - Integrated Orders!

2) This GUI mod must be copied into the MODS folder of SH3 and activated (enable) with JSGME.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Thank you.

Comments:

"What is wrong with the Ship Recognition manual? It seems to be partially missing?"

I don't know, just click on 'Handelsschiffe' and find the correct ship/vessel. Please note that I did not change the manual.

Update: New release will be downloadable here on subsim on July 15, 2010.

Happy Hunting!

Updated: 10 October 2009

Please download again if you use Anvart's German (swastika) flag and DF antenna mod. Reason: Commands_en.cfg updated and PDF added.

Thanks!

@ Rafael This mod was what I've always wanted.

Everything is a mouse click or movement away as well as keyboard funciality.

I have all I want now, well.... Wolfpacks ?

I been useing this for 3 hrs, single missions and career without a problem except... being too happy.

Thx again. FIREWALL

p.s. The guys with less than perfect eyesight will LOVE this mod.

p.s.s. Anybody that doesn't try this mod is missing the "BOAT" (PUN INTENDED)

For some reason, my recognition manual nearly disappears. I still can pull it up, but there is no cover. Any idea why this might happen?

Except that, the mod is awesome, thank you!!!!!

To all, you're welcome!

@gamer025: Yes I suppose so, use JSGME to install. Must work correctly.

Very nice. Should win an award for "Most useful and attractive mod ever!"...just one question? What is wrong with the Ship Recognition manual? It seems to be partially missing? (As was noticed by another poster.)

Other than that, I LOVE this addon! Can't live without it! I use it wit SH3 1.4 unmodded.
