Okay, I have these mods installed:

- Accurate German Flags
- SteelVikings Interior Mod
- DarkWraith's FX Mod
- Real Environments 3
- IRAI

So if I want realistic navigation and interface, I install DarkWraith's TDC mod? It seems that Magui is an alternative and I prefer the look of Magui, but does that have the realism options of TDC?

Basically, what mods do I need for realistic U-boat mechanics now?

Also, I have a few questions...

1. Is there any map or mod that supplies depth readings on the map? Did they have maps with numbered depths in WWII, and where can I get a map like that? What are the best map mods, I'd love something old-fashioned paper like WWII.

2. What are the best interface mods, and how do they compare? I want realism but also that WWII feel.

3. Can I use "North Atlantic Green 1.1" over SteelVikings "Underwater Mod V1.0?" I want the deep green murkiness but I want the bubble affects and other goodies too from SteelViking's mod.

4. What order should these mods go in?

5. I'm having an issue where my cursor is stuck when using periscope, that is, I can't move the cursor freely to click on buttons, it's stuck to moving the camera around. Help would be greatly appreciated!

6. When I look at the map, there are all these lines radiating outward from my location, that keep moving around. What are these? The manual doesn't say.

Thanks for your support so far, modding has been a lot more fun than I thought! (Special thanks to JSGME mod for making it a breeze!)
