Welcome back.

Regarding your #3 issue, in addition to what Irish has already stated, you can also manually drag your crewmen to an interior compartment and back to the bridge to force them to change into/out of bad weather gear.

Regarding your #4 issue, try turning off your free camera and map contacts for higher realism... Those enemy ships will be MUCH harder to find then.

Good point, i did turn off exterior, unless i get a new ship for a bit , but i should man up and turn off birds eye...i agree there. I didn't know about the moving crew around to fix that little bug, but thanks, now i know.

I noticed all these things before i added the 'no ring ring' mod, just last night.

These were small issues though, i added a second post (should have edited the first] about the biggest two issues. 1) the auto movement of the mouse curser to the firing button, after using it to move the periscope/UZO around with the mouse. ..like i said, before, when you left clicked to 'let go' of the movement of the glass...your curser reappeared where it was when you first left clicked it. now, it flies way over to the big shiny red fire button..so literally, you have to F3 etc to get out of that looking mode...without wasting a loaded torpedo...

the second issue, was the full speed [flank i think?] setting wasn't working. it just kills the engine and the needle auto falls to zero speed. I will check right now to see if reloading all cmdr mods helped....

Thanks for still helping me guys..

One way is to learn to control the periscope with your up,down etc. keys. Press shift (I think) when moving the periscope and it moves faster (or slower, cant remember anymore).

---------------------------------
Ok, update: Flank Speed works! mysteriously resolved itself when i reloaded all mods after rollback. huh.
-the auto-mouse firing still happening, this seems more than ever by design. Does it do this on all you guy's game??? Am i the only one that used the mouse to look around the periscopes?

Yeah Dowly, thanks, that is precisely what i have to do now to move the periscope/UZO around...(knew about fast and slow..a necessity to get crosshairs to lock on small ships!) i keep my hand off the mouse until i switch views...
-the screen to pitch black happened again when i was watching a ship sink, in the event viewer, under dark water at night, and then hid the guages with .Del key on nub pad.

2 down, 2 to go it seems..! heh.

There is the IXB to IXD2 mod that is camoflauge skin that is compatible to GWX 3.0. If you can't find it on the mods page let me know. I will check the messages.

The temporary absence of the Tirpitz' turrets in-game is intentional.

RTFM!!!
