Yeah ..I'm kind of blown away by some of these MODS. switched to Real Environment and Real Navigation last night ...and its pretty amazing...really makes a different game out of it. .....love the idea of having to actually pay attention to navigating while out at sea. Couple of questions tho......

Why no "Range at current Speed" function with RN? I think this is a bit critical for longer patrols (aka Drumbeat) to know when to set a course for home. Is there another way to calculate your fuel on aboard to then determine the best speed and what that will give you for range? The whole % full bar kind of sucks in my opinion.

I accidently hit the space bar while tracking a convoy....it locked onto a ship with a little yellow triangle and my deck gun crew manned the gun...thank god i was out of range or I'd have unzipped my fly. Anyway to turn off this functionality?

Noticed that weather says "clear" with Real Enironment...even tho there is a scattered to broken marine layer.....and was still able to take celestial fix? Also when I try to manually add a N mark to the map....it wont let me. It highlights like it is selected ...but when I drag over the map...its the normal cursor and nothing happens when I click where I want to click. So basically I cant plot fixes from land if I wanted to....

How do you reconfigure your time compression settings?....happend apon a convoy....and almost ran over it after TCing to in with in visual range. I need to tweek those values.

Using TDW New UI's ...some of the buttons from the old UI are non functional....and some are (patrol report). Is there a list of these. Oh btw...where can I SEE what was sent in a Patrol, Contact, Convoy report....besides the "report sent"?

ah...lastly for now....Gramophone and Radio....usually, with othe games...there are a ton of add on MODs (well play lists) to add to your gramophone folder.....where are these MODS for SH5? I saw one...but it wasnt to my liking. Figured there would be a list of a couple of hundred tracks for this somewhere. And what about the radio? only heard one freq work...22 or something like that....can you pick up different music...say if I'm off of England...then say Germany? How does that work.

Love the teleport button...but is there a teleport MOD makes the Captain Walk to the bridge hands free?

Sorry about the long multiquestion post....all hitting me at once with these MODS. Thanks again!
