Hi Capn,

Yep a big res is very nice, I use it mostly for flight sims I'm a bit of a latecomer to Silent Hunter.

Yes the 8:5 is the same ratio, that should work great. If you're working on TMO 2.2 / RSRDC version of OTC in the long run that would be much appreciated!

In the meantime, I did end up trying SCAF and it's working with TMO2.2 and RSRDC! Only played for 1/2 hour so far with it but no crash to desktop.

I'm also running the max optics, very nice!

TMO 2.1 and 2.2 have quite a few changes but not much really in the scope department. Probably not much actually changed much in the camera that's not in TMO2/RSRDC version of SCAF already. The updates have these things as the major changes:
* Japanese plane/boat changes
* Visual sensors
* Crew changes
* Sub speeds, battery changes, crush depths
* Sub textures
* Sub damage model
* Sub upgrade paths and refit dates
* Sub conning tower flags
* Sub gato 3d TDC interior
* Environment
* Torpedo changes
* AI chanes

The only changes I think I would lose is:
* revert to stock bearing indicator
* added TBT with green illuminated cross hairs
* add missing "own ship" label to periscope TDC panel

And they are very minor, and SCAF/max optics doesn't need those things anyway.

Thanks, knowing it's not just resolution only means that SCAF will give me some improvements on lots of ships. In the short term, I can use SCAF and one day move to OTC.

I tried SCAF with a couple of ships, and compared the ranges reported on the map dots and it seems to be a big improvement.

For max optics, I had to do some edits to menu_1024_768.ini make the Chrono, Radio Map, and Gramophone not appear off the screen due to my resolution. Just the same changes I made for TMO in menu_1024_768.ini to work on my res:
