Thanks for the info. I was able to import the radio and made the buttons work in SH5:

That's a shame. In view of a possible relation between the tuned station and the position of the needle, I had calculated a formula for converting frequencies into angular offsets, and I was planning to create a zoomed-in version of the dial tha woul have popped up while mousing over the tuning knob.

Adding a knob for band selection and limiting the frequency range that can be tuned to the currently selected band was anothe idea I had, but I am not really sure if implementing it in game is possible or not.

About knobs, do you think controlling them via mousewheel is a feasible idea?

... so that when the rotation is randomized, it would look more realistic than just a little needle oscillating.

Yes, this is another idea I had. I will work on the texture as soon as possible.

Cool!

Textures are not a problem. I think we should reduced a bit their size, in order to make them to fit better the rest of TDW's UI. I can also reduce the x mark, as suggested by you. Let me know if you think there is any other improvement I should apply to the current textures

I agree, but I am not really sure that it is going to be feasible as it would require a set of 3d object controllers which are probably missing from game. What maybe can be done, is adding the radio as an object that, if clicked, would open the normal radio receiver interface
