LOOKING FOR IDEAL MOD SET UP

By way of background...qualified in subs (diesel) aboard USS TIGRONE (AGSS 419) in 1966 (gold dolphins) before acceptance to BUDS. 22 years active duty...and I always loved the "stink boats" and the guys that sailed them...and often took us...in harms way. Anyway...I have diddled with this sim in various set-ups until a recent HD drive crash which has forced me to re-install among other things, SH III. I am looking for the perfect set up (for me) which would include:

1) Every visual bell and whistle available (space/speed no problem) including, but not limited to:
a) every available display (eg, heading tails, sonar lines, Wazoo's nomograph, the compass icon, and max plotting tool enhancements) on the NAV screen.
b) Max slide-out compass and CE reports. I seem to recall a prior MOD with compass slide-out from the top left (compass had Chinese characters mid-way on the dial face) and the CE report box had orders for among other things, normal/recharge diesel modes.
c) Max ambient/grammophone sounds
d) ABSOLUTE minimum crew fatigue possible!

I have found some incompatibility/conflict while trying various combos...including one situation where installation of raisanban's compass card caused an error msg out of my computer's ATI card.

Any way...maybe I am not the only dreamer out here and maybe the combined community might offer some suggestions/guidance along these lines.

I run (or did run) at between 65-79 realisim...still need WEPS help in the intercept arena....but working on it. AOB guesstimates are easier in real life than on the computer screen (at least in my opinion).

THANKS
