Love it

h.sie,

Got version 2 working now. Here are my thoughts...

1. Great job combining these three excellent mods!!! These are 3 important mods, together at last, and with some good tools from OLC.

2. Your reworked station menu is fantastic! The new stations are useful and the double column saves space. I can finally get to the log and radio messages quickly. I always forget the keystrokes and sometimes get lost in the integrated orders, your solution is the best. Your small buttons to raise and lower periscope from any station is brilliant! Well done!

3. The new navigation map tools from OLC are very nice (I changed my mind). Again, the double row of tools saves space. The depth tool thingie now seems more accurate. I wonder if this is because you got rid of the colored StrTactMap? The nomograph is much crisper, even though it is harder to use. These draggable tools sometimes get lost under the bottom user interface, but I found they can be retrieved by hitting number pad delete.

4. The new smaller font. Mixed feelings about this. I like the size, but don't like the typewriter fond. Old font was more clear. Wish I could have the old font but smaller size.

5. I love the I/O button on the TDC. Absolutely necessary. Brilliant!

6. I must have the salvo selector switch labels back. These can be editted to correct them, deleting the labels just doesn't look right.

7. I would suggest another button somewhere to open/close the tubes. Everything else for the attack is right at your fingertips. I always remember to open the tubes, right after I push the red button. If I was the engineer at Siemens, I would have put a third button between the black and red that says Open/Close.

This mod is a winner. I will be keeping it.

My suggestions are to put those salvo labels back, look into changing to a more clear font, and adding an open tubes toggle button. :hmm:
