View Full Version : The stop watch...

As you know the stop watch magically appears when you reach a certain time compression. Then it dissappears as you reduce TC. Usually when you want it most.

Two questions that I should know but dont....

1.) Is there a hot key for the watch show/noshow?

2.) Is there a way to keep the watch up there unless I close it?

I prefer the watch to the little digital 'clock' in the map view. Easier to read and (for me) easier to relate time of day in relation to sunrise/sunset.

The 'X' key is the default hot key.

Hrm... I must have botched a .cfg edit.. Now I know where to look thanks.

Now how to make it 'stick' ?

If you toggle it on using 'x' it'll stay on until you press 'x' again.

It vanishes from the screen if you switch stations, though. Going from the attack periscope to the nav (or attack) map, for example, makes it disappear.

This...

I know some folks dont care for the watch.

But I do :)

Still looking for a mod to make it sticky x turns it on x turns it off and it stays there regardless of TC or 'screen'.
