Default About Sh4 stock dials style to SH3...

Hi mates,

I was wondering if we have a mod that brings to SH3 the same feeling stock dials as in SH4 (engine position/velocity , compass/rudders, depth).

I mean, in Sh4 when you pass the mouse over those dials you imediatelly have a more "big one" to work on, what really makes things better to use, more easy to see, etc.

I know that we have the FLb sale big dials mod but they are slideout dials, not what i'm looking for...I really like the SH3's stock feeling interface just with small modifications (as in GWX for example - I use the Ducimus dials adaptation for GWX fom NYGM.)

Do we already have such mod (I'm a bit behind time on this matter)? Will be possible to be done by one of ours dials&menu1024 experts?

Thanks in any advice!

Rubini.

Hi Rubini,

My GUI mod (see OLC 'Gold' MkIIb) does something like that. Not quite as nice as the SH4 dials but it does work. You could use the same technique in pretty much any SH3 GUI.

Hi OLC,

Thanks by the reply. Yes, I already saw it and it´s great but I don´t use it for some personal reasons/limitations (I run a self tweaked 8km and I have not much free time to play, then I only knows how to use the basic interface on TDC arena, etc).

But the implementation on SH4 (on the above matter) is really good because is really simple, basic and very good.

Perhaps you can take a look on how SH4 main dials work and then make another good mod for stock/GWX? If you need some help on the work you can count on me. I never worked with dials and menu1024 as a modder this is why I´m asking.
