Hello.
Im working on a gui for the periscopes.
It is working, but i need to mod the Observation periscope and make an installer so the mod would work on any version, stock, gwx, nygm etc.
It will let:
- use of AOB Finder: I ask permission to the modders of U-Jagd tools to use they work.
- Stadimeter: It allow the use of the stadimeter.
- All the tdc in the periscope: allows fast reading of the solution data.

I cant find an easy way to put some kind of indicator if the autoupdate of the tdc is on or off.

Here is:

Sorry the bad english.
Greetings.

Hey very nice :D That was just the kind of idea I had when I helpedOLC and Joe with the U-Jagd tools, but I play more SH4 and the effort was not worth it. But if you make it, I will sure use it for my Black Sea campaigns :D in GWX or Type XXIII careers in NYGM.

The idea was to have a Slide-out TDC :hmm:

Im playing sh4 too, but i not feel im done with sh3.
Let me ask you a question, if you really know, ¿how to put some indicator of the state of the autoupdate without messing with the toggles of rudder etc.?, if i put the checkbox of the autoupdate in the periscope, it just doesnt work.

I guess you could peek into OLC's GUI.

Hey, you're welcome to use our U-jagd tools, and your project looks really nice

No one's yet come up with the auto-update toggle that you look for, certainly not without using a rudder type switch. I'm sorry.

yes that's possible, but i think he wants it to show visibly whether the TDC is on auto-update or off, and without it being prone to going out of sync
