Hello there, yes of course no problem :yeah: , I bought a EAH5870 V2 , specifically to play SH5 , and those new setting can reduce the FPS of this video card but only when become warm ( 70 C ) , I am swapping the stock video card cooler and adding also a huge passive heatsink ( 300x150x15mm ) at the back of the GPU PCB

My thinking exactly! I try to play with the HUD off as much as possible. It's all about immersion, baby! :rock:

But if you turn off the HUD , this will force you to actually go to the dials/gauges of the sub to be able to check what is going on , this is :yeah: shockingly realistic :rock: Good Idea :up:

The stock UI is nice and unobtrusive. I didn't know you could get rid of it with Num Pad Del, I've just been using the shift+z to get rid of it for screenshots or to make it more cinematic. One thing from SH3 that I wish carried over was usable dials, like adjusting speed using the telegraphs or depth with the diving stations.

Yup, it is pretty cool to use the actual dials around the sub. Plus BIGREG is constantly working to make more of the dials actually work, and I just put out a mod/am still working on cleaning up the textures of all the gauges and gauge labels so they can be read easier. Once BIGREG and I finish, it should be much easier and more enjoyable to play that way.

What would be ideal is to have the above commands added to the dialog boxes where the actual value can be dialed in. :D I hate "telling" the helmsman to come to heading 179, because of slightly inaccurate mouse placement, when, IRL, I would have simply said, "Come to heading 180."

I think the problem with the auto targeting is that to make it work you can't lock on to your target. You line up the crosshairs with where you want your torpedo to hit and if you look on your mini-map it automatically lines up the shot...BUT, if you Lock Target it switches to the TDC and if the TDC is turned off you have to do the line up the numbers. I've slowly taught myself to manually target thanks to the guides here on Subsim, and *cough* having map updates on - but gotta learn somewhere,( http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=164131) and it takes a little more time, but I actually miss less and it feels more rewarding.

I didn't know about the the Super SH, but that might be because things were cut to make the deadline. I do agree it does seems rushed as if to make a release date the developers weren't planning on (which is probably even more frustrating and heartbreaking for the devs than for us).
I still like it though, and even the mods out now make the game greater, I can't wait to see what happens given time.

Or is that what you meant? :sunny:
