I tried this mod out for the first time last night. have to say its a really lovely interface, I especially like the fact that its across the bottom of the screen and not spread around the edges like the default interface, cluttering up the view. The dark colours and understated icons really enhance it - a work of art.

Keep up the great work DrJones! :up:

Thank you very much...work is still going on.

The last week i still had not much time to advance my work.

At least as Info to you the torpedo control works as known in sh3.

There will be added a Panel for the opening the torpedo tubesl also.

news will follow

Hello everybody,

after a long time of designing testing and scripting i can show you know the work of the periscope as it is now.

The torpedo control is like in Sh3 now.
I've Added a Control to open the Tube as a slide in but it is still not finished yet.

Wow, Your UI look beautiful! I can not wait for the final version!

Yes Thank You...The same to me...i'am also looking forward to get finished with it so it is fully playable :D

I am looking for to this UI as well.

Anticipation: -=[ Click Here ]=- :har:

.

How will look the recognition manual? As a real old german Kriegsmarine book? It would be great!

I am thinking the same thing as Josef von Posorschitz. IMO, dump the XO TDC box and add him below in the Button Bar for the Battle Stations and Silent Running commands.

Maybe use the Enhance Recognition Manual that has the TDC info built into it. Or just use the TDC Dials in the UI and use the other version of the Recognition Manual without the TDC info.

The Recognition Manual is also something what i am thinking about.

But first i want to finish the Periscope and Obscope.

If there is someone with a great idea for the recognition Manual, especially the design, please tell me..or better take part and try to get it work :salute:

I think Reaper7 made a pretty nice Recognition Manual you may want to look at.

oh yes it is really nice. i think i will use it. Reaper gave permission to use it. :cool:

Regards DrJones

I agree! Reaper7´recon manual is great!

Here is a original identification book (one of many various) of the world´s ship used by Kriegsmarine:

SteelViking made some Periscope Masks a while back for Reaper7 UI-Boat SteelViking Scopes. His Mask's have background textures that are like the Periscope body.
SteelViking enjoy's working with other's and I am certain he will give permission for use. They would need some minor tweaks in order to use.

I really like the new periscope view DrJones. Top work indeed!

Just a suggestion, the white borders around the various number based dials such as depth, time, etc, seem a little too white and don't quite fit with the rest of the interface which is mainly blue/greys. what do you think?

There actually my Scope I made - There just based on Steelvikings Interior Mod colours so as to match the colours that his mod made to the scopes. :up:

So no problem with you using them if wanted. Just note that they are not properly calibrated to match the stock degrees graticules or FOV.
Unlike my new scopes in the V3.1 of my Ui-Boat Mod, you can use those also if you wish. :up:

Scope shown in Stock SH5 - Note proper Graticule scaling and correct 38 degree FOV

Just be careful how you set up your scopes if they don't follow the correct degree spacing they will never work right with the RAOBF etc.
If you need help calibrating them I would be glad to help.

Your also welcome to use my RAOBF which matches the real one. I realy like how your Ui is shaping up, looks great.

Correct...this detail also offered to me....it's a bit to shiny..you are right...i will change them to are darke color

This is a really awesome mod , fantastic work .

Would be please possible to add "open/close torpedo tubes"-control e. g. here?

Without opening it would be not possible to fire a torpedo;)
