I've cruised the forums a bit and mostly got my questions answered and you all seem to be quite helpful- so I'm hoping you can get me the rest of the way there...

First, How do I get that bar up that allows me to give orders to my different officers? Like in SH3 and SH4? I have tried using DarkWraith's UI mod but I get everything EXCEPT that command bar.

Are you doing the tutorial still??? The tutorial makes some parts of the UI hidden. Complete the tutorial and all the UI should then be visible.

(speaking of the DW UI, I cannot seem to move the CO2, Fuel, and Battery clickies off of my speed meter. It's clunky and hard to control ship speed unless using kbd shortcuts).

Not sure what you mean.... A screen shot would help me understand what you want.

Also, regarding the UI mod- Is it possible to get the auto aiming feature that is in Vanilla (the one with the numbers 1,2, and 3 along my torpedo path and targets heading) to work with this mod? I like the ability to have more options, but no I can't his squat. Still too new to the game to try manual targeting though I plan on it after the learning curve...

Yes it is possible. But requires editing the TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py file.

Secondly, How do I manually man the Deck gun? I can manually man the Flak gun as it seems my men wont man it themselves even when the order is given. (It constantly remains empty regardless that I ask them to man the flak several times) I'm assuming this is a bug.

Walk down to the gun and click on it.
How are you ordering them to man the flak\deck guns??
Just talk to the watch officer and he will give you the option. (either in 3d or the officers panel added by TDW).
I use voice commands (Speech Recognition).


I can, however issue orders for my men to man the deck gun, but I cannot manually man it myself...

Loving this game as I did with SH3 and SH4, but it seems this one is a bit more steep with the learning curve as the others. Things that came easily are a head scratcher now...


Thanks much in advance, and sorry this is so many questions in the form of a wall of text. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
See yellow above...Hope this helps.
