For me too. I am missing some previously active key commands:
F3- Attack Periscope
U - UZO
O - Observation Periscope
B - Binoculars
N - Recognition Manual
And perhaps others, I haven't tried them all. None of these work anymore.
Also, on the left side pop out menu (the original one) the second command from the top (UZO) is now blank and clicking on it does nothing. To get to the UZO, I have to go to the bridge (F4) and click on the UZO explicitly. There is no shortcut for it.
On the whole though, I like the idea of this. There are some mods in here that I have not tried yet on their own so I am still getting used to some of the features. It seems that the view of the world from the external camera is somewhat more, I don't know how to describe it, clipped or flat or choppy or something that is slightly less desirable than what I was used to but its still early. We'll see.
Other than the missing key commands, I like this so far. I am hoping that the missing commands are common to others and not just me, and that a fix is easy. If not, I'm sure I can figure a way to remap the keyboard, I think I have seen utilities here that facilitate that.
For the record I copied a clean "Data" directory into the SHIII directory, used JSME to load RUB 1.43 and then Improved UBoat 1.0beta. (I also added MooseMeasure's ruler tool as I like that a lot. I recommend that it become a part of this mod.) My system is P4 2.6GHz, 1Gig RAM, gforce fx5700le with 128MB and driver 71.89. I regularly run "end-it-all" before starting the program with SHIII Commander V2.
Finally let me say: WOW. This is good stuff. When the bugs (mine or the mod's) are worked out, this is going to be the standard, along with RUB and Commander. My hat is off to everyone involved, and my thanks to Terrapin for hosting it.
