A couple GWX2.1 interface questions

[kraytkiller]

First off, how do I manually aim with GWX? I know how to get the ship log up and lock onto the target but I cant figure out where to put the information in. Also I can't see the ships icon on the torpedo targeting map at all.

Second, is there any way to get the icons of the stations back on the side of the screen? Or will I just have to continue to memorise the F1-12 hotkeys?

Well...the aiming is the same as stock SH3, click the word "range" to get the two lines, so on and so forth. Maybe you have manual switched off if its not working.

Maybe I should have mentioned this, but I already have it. Just sort of assumed the GWX was the one thing that changed the UI so drastically, but maybe it was this. Can you tell me how I input the data to target a ship with this mod? I can't figure out how to aim at all. Or maybe I just have to play around with it more.

on the bottom of the screen near the text box is a little round switch. click it and it will bring up your TDC controls.

upon those gages you input range, speed and AOB.

click the screen once more to close the gages, and fire

This may not help, but after I installed GWX2.0/2.1 then SH3 Commander I liked what I saw but wasn't completely satisfied. So I went and d/l installed OLCE2 because some of the water effects looked really good on posted screen shots.

Started up JSGME Generic Mod Enabler and activated the following:

OLCE2
OLCE2 Fixed GWX 2.1 Ship Reflections
OLCE GUI Special

And started the game through SH3 Commander.

What greeted my eyes was a totally new interface, one that I didn't like because I had grown accustomed to the original. So after exiting (and auto rolling back SH3 Commander) I unactivated OLCE GUI Special and restated - ah, glorious goodness returned.

Hope that helps,

There are 2 video's on OLC filefront page that explain everything you need for aiming. The shorter one is like an addendum to explain the changes in the Special gui and other things. The longer movie is based on the original OLC Gui (dual zoom levels)
