Sadly it will be a ton of work. But worth it!

If that slide out TDC could be used from the radar station, that would be amazing, but I'm afraid you can only link it to the periscope station interface, not to the main bar.
Hi Hitman, it's been a long time!! Hope you're doing well.

Guys, Hitman has forgotten more than I will ever know regarding the game. It's some of his work that prompted me to make the changes I did to the Radar in OTC. Modding takes an idea.....someone taking a few steps towards making the idea a reality.....then others coming along and making changes to it....all with the hope of making something better, more useful. My hat's off to you!!

Yes, what you've described is what I'm going to try. KiUB is a big influence for the project......with a different look.

Your right about the Radar screen compared to the Attack Periscope screen.....two different animals there. One 3D modeled, the other 2D with completely different components.....capabilities. Since no one has ventured into making game engine changes, were stuck with what's been given us.

Longknife, I'm interested in whatever you come up with!! I'm guessing les_green01 would too!
