Sniper, I loaded the ClayP's Optics onto my 1.4 version of the game, but couldn't get it do what problem you've described. I do admit there is no "Free Camera" with it.
I'm in your corner though in not seeing the need to move to version 1.5. I didn't like the idea of paying for something (the 5th patch for SH4) just to have the German's mess around in the Pacific!! Even if there are good things that come from it.....we shouldn't ever have to pay for a patch! The game was flawed, and still is, in many respects. We should never need to pay for a fix.
I'm wondering something. If you go to the conning tower in a Gato or Balao class.....do you have gauges and dials? From the radar A-Scope screen (I know, the game calls the two screens opposite what they should be), the radar station on the left..... does the bearing dial above the screen not show? It looks blacked out on my 1.4 version. So does the helm's dials, to the front of the conning tower.
