If you're talking about the "3000 yard/meter Bearing Plotter", you should first download the version you need to correct the resolution your game runs in (and, the version for either the Imperial unit of measurement, or Metric). I know this doesn't address the specific problem you're talking about, but just to be clear on which mod you're trying to use.
As TorpX said, an issue that comes up with mods not being installed properly is their file structure isn't as it should be. Sometimes a mod is placed inside a folder "package" containing several mods. Just extracting the entire package of mods into JSGME's "MODS" folder won't allow the application to load the mods correctly (since the mod folder is actually inside an extra folder). You should always check your mods for the correct folder structure. A mod that JSGME can correctly install will have the mods title name folder as the
first folder.....the
second folder will have the folder named "Data".
Now, I know the "3000 yard/meter Bearing Plotter"
doesn't have this kind of package folder issue. So your problem is something else. I'm guessing it's the JSGME install. Since the JonesSoft group has stopped working on their application, the download files from SubSim has it in a "package" style download. There's two different JSGME named folders within the download,
before you get to the 3 files, 1 folder that need to be placed directly into the SH4 "main" game folder.
Below are the marked files/folder that you should find after properly installing JSGME in your Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific main game folder.
What you need to do with the compressed JSGME download is to "extract" it to your desktop. Open the leading "title named" folder, open the second folder, then copy and paste the files/folder you find there into the games "Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific" folder like the image shows.
