Moving Tabs solution in UI
 

If you are not blessed with a 1980x1080 screen like me, you can play with the default text file to put 2 UI tabs at the bottom and one in the original position by doing a "default.txt file edit.

I have mine looking like this in the pic below. The txt file edited looks like this..

For those that don't know the "//" causes the line not to be read in the game settings. Removing it"//" makes the line active.

//Toolbar position 0,0, (1 to anchor to minimap or 0 for no anchor)
//Default toolbars overlap and enabled via tabs/keys
//ToolbarsPos=0,0,0
//ForceAllToolbarsOn=FALSE
//HelmToolbarOffset=0,0
//DiveToolbarOffset=0,0
SensorToolbarOffset=0,0 <----make this line active by removing the double forward slash (left Tab)

Force all toolbars on in bottom horizontal row
ToolbarsPos=0,0,0
ForceAllToolbarsOn=TRUE <--- all bars active
HelmToolbarOffset=331,-346
DiveToolbarOffset=645,-346
//SensorToolbarOffset=953,-346 (this keeps the masts tab on the left)

I hope this helps somebody else with an older monitor like me!:hmmm:

awesome,thnx.just what i was waiting for.:Kaleun_Cheers:

welcome aboard!
 

Well I have a monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 how do I get those UI's to line up horizontally on bottom of screen? thanks.

That is really good solution. Cheers! :)

Thanks!

I just posted an updated on in an above thread. Sorry for not doing a download but we are preparing for a hurricane:ping:

Sweet got it to work thank you so much....stay dry and safe.

No
 

My toolbars are not showing any color, just white fields with red figures :-(

Copy this and replace your whole default.txt file. Back up your original.

Thanks, that did workout properly.
Somehow the text file damaged.

Will check your channel.:up:

Thanks, I'm just starting and appreciate your following. I'm puttingt out better content as I learn the tools, and want to support Killerfish games They are awesome.

I've played many other sims, been around gaming for a long time and this is the best for support and updates! Also It's lots of fun with all the MODs!! :Kaleun_Applaud:

Thanks!
 

Just wanted to say thanks for the work you did on this! Works the charm for me! Appreciate it! :Kaleun_Salute:

You are more than welcome!

I can confirm it works in 1.08b quite well. Living in South Florida can be trying. I was recording today for a video with 1.08b and we lost power. So much for that Vid. lol

Our worst damage was we lost our refrigerator from the hurricane somehow but we'll get over that. I wanted to get a better video card (running a GTX 560) but the card is on the back burner somewhere. :doh:

Anyway I'll see if I can put up a video later. I have a pretty good one using the Chinese sub yesterday. But playing on Elite mode, I couldn't finish the first mission. Too many holes in the boat. It was an enemy torpedo fest LOL But I did get back to port where the drydock crew was not too happy..I guess it was a fail/win?

:haha:
