There are written walkthroughs on how to do the manual targeting part. But it is a bit obscure in OLCs initial post of the OLC GUI thread. They were made during earlier versions of the Normal mod but the function is the same. (Only the Attackdisk part is not explained in them. See this thread)

See Friedl9te's range/AOB explanation (a post in an older thread, only hi magnification):

See Skookum's PDF (speed, hi/lo magnification, but bad graphics unfortunately)
http://files.filefront.com/OLC+GUI+Q.../fileinfo.html

Basically the most important difference between the Normal Gui and the Special Gui is that the last one only has one magnification setting (3x), so you can forget the extra wheel sliding that involves the 15degree-mark. Also, the Normal Gui required doubled mast values (doing it in-your-head or let a small program create a correction-mod for it), but the Special Gui can use the unchanged mastheight values.

You can use the Normal Gui on-top-of the Ubermod. Just enable the Normal Gui mod-parts as last, and don't enable the Special Gui. The drawback is that the wavetop improvement is lost. And iirc his map contact update changes are also not in the normal gui.
