SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - New Gui Mods are all great, but All are missing an important function for me

After going through (I think) about every Gui/supermod on the list, they are all great and various ones have some great features. Call me lazy or inept, but I just can't get the hang of manual targeting after honestly trying on three seperate periods of nearly a week. While many call that a learning curve, its reached a point where its starting to detract from the fun (even after shortly restarting playing all the pain of doing it before surfaced). A game can be difficult, and fun at the same time; what it shouldn't be is difficult and create stress.

All the GUI's managed to disable the one function that I need: The Weapons's Officer and his ability to plot a solution on the locked target. Since they somehow got disabled, logic would dictate that they can be re-activated. The two that I've enjoyed the most are the OLC 'Gold' MkIIc and ACM Reloaded for OLC 'Gold' MkII. I tend to side towards the OLC 'Gold' MkIIc as it seriously smoothes the game out and get some really nice framerates out of it. Both have the best manual targeting apparatus around so I can take my time to learn, didn't have 5 or so years as a u-boot recruit to take command of my boat to hone my skills (granted later in the war training periods did get drastically reduced to almost nothing).

Can someone please post or pm on how to re-enable this function (preferably in the OlC Gold MKIIc version, but hey beggers can't be choosers) so I can start wreaking havoc on the English again, working on tactics and infiltrating Gibraltor & Scapa Flow to blow up the Brit's nice big ships in their own backyard

while working on manual targeting at my own pace. Seems that there's one person with the integrated commands all re-enabled, as you can see http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/9...1017820399.png From the massive mod screenshot thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=170090

Thanks,
Sarah

P.S. Not to sound ungrateful, but in the OLC MkIId the zoom function seems to be broken. It's unclear in the changelog whether its been changed to always be at max magnification or if the change is just that the zoom is instant.

P.P.S I tried to RTFM any documents or threads I could find on this matter, all I could come up with were some threads discussing why the modder decided to leave it out, then says that in an appendix it'll show how to re-enable; but the appendix is missing! Or possibly the file got eaten from the download server?
