How about a button to trigger a function to autocentre the TAI on the sub.

hmmmm......tan and gold...one could get confused as to if the icon is selected/enabled or not. There's not much 'color spread' between those.

I like the idea of the button. Behavior of it being when you press the button the TAI centers on your sub?

Yes, surprising the devs didn't include that feature, hopefully not something that will be bad for resources with redraws etc?

Additionally, I think that if you were in periscope view and had the TAI zoomed in to X magnification.. you leave to external camera.. or leave to the main map.. whenever you return the TAI should be at the same magnification level.. not zoomed 5 mouse wheel turns higher up than where you were.

not at all. The TAI will just scroll to the sub. I'll play around with it today

I believe the fixes TDW has done is already far surpasing what Ubisoft has promised fixing in the next Patch.

Maybe that's why the delayed it. They're embrassed when trying to compete with TDW.

anyone have any suggestion for different color scheme then (selected, not selected, not available)?

Sonarman · 04-29-10, 07:33 AM

Sober was indicating a tan color the same as the background in the recog manual for the notepad backround. As to the icons maybe something like the icons in Ducimus's Trigger Maru would be good?

I'm not seeing the icons in that picture. What are their colors?

Sonarman · 04-29-10, 07:39 AM

selected: same color as co2/ batt etc selected indicator in your SH5 UI mod ie a destaurated yellow.
not selected: mid grey
not available: dark grey

TAI centers on the sub already if you press the triangular button (Blue Heading type) at the bottom left of the TAT map already, does it not.

Sonarman · 04-29-10, 01:29 PM

Yes, but only temporarily ie when you press it it relocates the TAI to your sub's location, it would be good to have a button to do this all the time automatically.

Another nice feature might be sunrise/sunset/moon phase chart triggered to change perhaps on a monthly basis in the way that the night filter is controlled by a time? trigger, not sure, how much of this data is accurate/accessble, that was a nice feature in DC & SH2 amongst others.
