(REQ) has anyone "fixed" those pop up dials?

[USS Sea Tiger]

Hi

SHIV is very nice and all but I find the EOT and Helm pop up EXTREMELY annoying.
has anyone fixed this problem yet??

[Zero Niner]

If I understood your post correctly, you're talking about the 3 dials enlarging when you mouse over them?

If so, I don't think anyone has modded them as it's likely to be hard coded in the .exe file.

I never thought of them as being a problem that needed fixing .. :hmm: ...Now that blasted stop watch..thats another story...

It depends on the resolution you're using. At 1280 x1024 or higher, the "pop up dials" become handy and at 1600, by 1200, they're downright necessary.

EOT: Edge of Tank? End of Tirade? Elevation of Target? This is a designation never before encountered. Helm indicator could refer to the course/rudder position dial, but that is far from certain.

Then there's the "extremely annoying" part. Annoyed because they're too small? (whatever you could specifically be referring to) Annoyed because they are too large? They don't pop up fast enough? You don't like the color?

Frankly, it's impossible to respond in any helpful way to this question because it is so poorly put. We all get two chances, just like Admiral Lockwood did. You just returned from your first cruise with a freezer full of frozen fish and 20 torpedoes. You get one more cruise to come back with questions we can answer.:rotfl: Help us to help you.

EOT= Engine Order Telegraph, or where you ring up your bells (no it is not the SST Sub Speed Thingy :rotfl:)

Oh, you mean the Lee Helm. I had never heard of EOT either. Engine Telegraph, sure; but the other, no.
