You can customise your log entries and make it read like a captain's log.
6) RetroNavMapTools - Jiims NavMapTools - Aces Colored Menu Bar

Those Nav tools just take up to much space on the map. This allows for drop down menue buttons. This is only the Nav map, the modder has not been able to mod the combat plot map.
7) Course indicator mod for Compass. This replaces the dang triangle with a line. I would also like to see this gaged increase by 50%. I were bifocals and see my bearings and heading is real hard. I believe there is an existing mod that replaces that triangle with a line.
With that said and done back ta learning how to fire those dang torpedoes in practice. Bought a 17 by 23 inch dry eraser board. With fine tip sharpie drew bearing circle with 4 divissions of range. Inside cirlcle "0" south like in SACF ( It-Was) and out side "0" North. Thwe main reason for the manual plot board helps me get to grips with wahtis acutually going on. For some odd reason I get a type of vertigo with direction in the boat. So for awhile I will be doing a lot of pausing until I can master manual TDC without it.
