I will as soon as my internet gets better...have currently some trouble accessing mediafire...stay tuned:)

cartoonish? :hmmm:

I have made them as close as possible to the real thing:

I don't know if they had such a thing aborad U-boats, but I think it is anyway better that the round backgrounds seen in stock UI and New UI's.

What do you suggest? making sun and moon in plain color, removing color shading or what else?

Thank you Fifi :)

Gap, here it is : http://www.mediafire.com/download/91...icer_faces.zip

My sub interior isn't that clear...but hope it's clear enough.
The hydroman is impossible to get stand up and frontal, though, so i made 2 screens and you choose the better one (as for watch officer - with or without hat)
If not good, tell me exact requirements please :up:

Thank you Fifi, but I need for help with the identification of the officers. Some are obvious, but some others ore not :doh: :D

1 watch officer
2 hydro man
3 radio man
4 chief
5 navigator
6 XO
7 bosun
8 cook
9 motor chief
10 torpedo chief
11 hydro man
12 watch officer

:up:

Another nice idea (if possible) would be replacing the practical but ugly digital clock featured by New UI, with something more appropriate like one of these clocks:

As a horologist with an extensive watch collection, no one would serve aboard any vessal much less a uboat with a Jaeger Lecoultre reverso with the true 29 day moonphase complication. The watch has two dials which can be switched in the watch case, hence its name, and generally any uboat commander would invest in 4 better eels. I recently acquired and refurbished a gold 1957 Lecoultre which I am lucky to own and leave it behind mit der frou for expenses" in case the war turns against the fatherland." Good work on the dial faces though.

Do you mean that Germans didn't have a cheaper version of that watch by WWII? I remember I once "won" (it was for a promotional offer IIRC) a pocket watch with a similar feature, but it was worth just little more than the tinplate of its casing obviously :D

Anyway my day/night indicator grahics weren't meant for realism and I didn't strive to replicate any particular watch model. I conceived them just as a part of the UI, i.e. as a possible replacement for the absurd porthole open against an open sea landscape that we can see even at twenty thousand leagues under the sea. If someone else gets a better idea, he is invited to share it :up:

I agree completely. One of the biggest issues I had with default SH5 was the "cold" interface, more suited to modern naval simulations - this looks like it will make the game come alive.
