Hi Berbster,

Glad you're enjoying it. I've always loved OLC style GUI's, they are really great with functionality. Maybe someone will post an update that includes a large compass, because you're right about that being a really nice to have item.

In regards to the TDC being able to be switched on and off, with OLC, anytime the TDC buttons are showing via his switch, you're able to edit the dials manually. The switch toward the bottom right, next to the officers will pop open a TDC panel (manual mode while it's showing) and another click will hide it (back to auto-update and tied to the periscope) and you should be able to open that from any screen. You may have to have manual targeting selected in the options to make it work properly (I can't remember). Also there is a small button in the middle of that panel that will pop open OLC's implementation of the Attack Disk (front side only and missing a dial). There is another mod that works on top of it that you can find here: http://www.marinesims.de/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=15304 (German language only but pretty self explanatory) or can be popped into Google translator for a very rough translation. I've used that mod without any problems and there's even a tutorial (again in German) underneath it that shows you how to use that implementation. Maybe I'll post the instructions in english here and credit back to the original page, but I don't know about copying the mod to subsim since I'm not the author of it.

Also, in case you didn't find it, the button on the left side of the messages window (opposite the TDC switch) will enable slide out panels on the left that give you all the standard controls.

Hope this helps and provides you with another piece of the pie.
