My number 1 wish is for SH3 is a simple one:

Allow me to have a dynamic logbook that I can type into while underway, preferably with a handwriting font.

I tried to get some of those desktop Quick-Notes type software to pop-up in SH3 but haven’t been successful. Alt-tabbing to write in them is not practicable either as it tends to mess-up the chart-table in my sub interior as well as it’s inconvenient.

I’m left with typing on my laptop while sailing on the desktop…. Hmmm…


Having a note-taking tool inside SH3 would be the ultimate mod add-on for me…

Something like this is in the works, but you have to alt-tab to use it. Sorry, this is a limitation of SH3, and can't be worked around AFIK. This application currently integrates notes you take during a patrol with the patrol log and is output in html format (or text if you want to use something like phpbb). This is an example:

Sample Patrol Log

I had one with a handwriting font, but changed because it was too hard to read. It could be an easy option though.
