TDW, I started to use your mod just to have access to the radio messages and journal features. Now, I'm having hard time to figure out in what way is this journal better or different that the captain log in stock version. So far, the only difference I see is that you are able to write/add notes and delete entries. Is that all or Im missing something? Because I was expecting something different than a ship journal, more like a personal journal where all the trash event is filtered out and only my notes are registered.

The radio messages. I had imagined that when radio messages are received, they pop up on your screen, like the default radio messages in stock game. Instead, Im getting only info about messages received and when I check them, there is a lot of spam in there... like periscope sighted, convoy leaving from Malta etc, but less about real important stuff like enemy convoy spotted in my area of operation. And the messages from Bdu are treated like "message received". Because of this massive spam, I tend to not bother very much with the messages, so I missed few important reports. Can you filter more these messages and show only those that are from activity in my patrol area and messages from Bdu make them pop up on screen. Im not really interested to hear about a spotted scope near England when I sail on the coast of Africa...

What I absolutley love in this mod is that finally there is a option to hide my UI and let only the message box on. I love this feature so much, that I intend to use this mod. But there are several visual things in this UI that bothers me very much. First one is the recon manual. It looks ugly and gives me a strong oldish SH3 flavour. Beside that, when is opened, Im not sure what it is.. if is a book, there should be pages, not only a plain sheet. So first thing was to skin the book and make it to fit better the SH5 style, but on the internal pages.. it require more than replacing some dds.

My question is, can please you make it to look like in the images bellow? Of course, I can give you all the dds required.
Also is that possible to move all those dials under the torpedo control and move the scope back to right. All those dials floating on the screen seems so unnatural..

One last question, how is the stadimeter work in this mod? I know that I can use the TDC panel or the button from the distance dial, but where should I put the stadimeter line? On top of the mast, funnel.. or.. ? I just cant figure out the right position.

Thanks.
