Figured it out....

I was trying to unzip.. unrar the file directly over top of TDW's files/folders... the program doesn't allow that (do you want to copy, write over.. type option)...

So.. I unzipped to a blank area.. then copy/pasted over top of TDW's and the familiar (are you sure you want to write over these files) window popped up.. then I knew I was doing it right.

Works great! Thanks!

A CD came with the monitor (it's a monitor at work) and I put it in my CD-Rom.. there are drivers but when I try to update.. it says the drivers I have already are more up to date. Not sure how to say --> This Monitor here. use this specific driver.

Is that possible?
Yes, go to device manager and remove your monitor from the list. Install the cdrom driver.

Phew.. finally.

I had to update driver.. but tell it to check locally.. and then additionally tell it that I had the desk.. and then go into the dist and find it.......

They call this plug and play? I feel like I'm messing with dip-switches here. Heh

Default Absolutely A1!!

I've just installed v1.4 this morning and alt-tabbed out the game to offer some feedback on this...

Absolutely ****ing Brilliant!!

Difficult to see how the interface could be improved upon now, everything I've wanted to see added or gotten rid of you've managed to do and given the option to toggle on/off - couldn't wish for more!

A HUGE thanks is in order for this, must've been a hell of a lot of work and hours.

I hope this makes the game for everyone a whole lot better, I reckon everyone on Subsim will appreciate this one!

Regards

It worked.. it worked....

I installed the new drivers... used extended monitor.. made the big monitor the main monitor.. started the game.. it shrunk (pout)..

but then I went to the graphics options inside SH5 and a LOT more options became available.. I'm now running at the suped up uber-resolution.

Weee!

makes you wonder... if the wonderful modders can do all this...come up with what seems the perfect way of doing things...things that seem the RIGHT way to go about things...why cant the devs have done it this way from the start??

a very very big thanks from me...i know i prob wouldnt be playing SH5 if it wasnt for the fantastic mods and modders.

Oh well.. going back to the graphics I know it can handle... still fun on the massive monitor.

Okay.. so I'm looking at my map view with some TC going and all of a sudden an enemy aircraft pops into view... back to 1x TC and I'm still at the map view.

I hit F6 to order my men to the flak guns and then I said.. hey.. I don't trust this code that they're actually going to fire the guns so... I pressed the teleport button and this is what I got.



Wow.. that was a mistake, so I pushed the escape button on the laptop to try and 'pull out' or 'minimize' like when you leave the periscope or want to leave a gunner position.. and this is what I got.



This all gets pretty exciting.

One of the guys made a temp-patch until you got your 4 hours sleep for the day. We knew you'd fix it when you got back.
