Entering depth/bearing

Mayhaps this should be in the modders forum, apologies if so. I would like to be able to type in my desired depth or bearing, rather than being required to click somewhere on a dial... I know, wierd huh?

Is there already a mod that accomplishes this?

If not, common sense tells me that at some point your mouse click has to be turned into a data point of some sort.

Kudos to the kind of person that can point me in the right direction!

This has been discussed before. So far, to my knowledge, nobody has come up with a fix.

(It's another thing that many asked "the devs" to include in SH5, which was ignored. Glad I never bought that abortion.)

Not that I'm aware of, but it'd be a great addition.

No, currently there is no mod that does that. I agree, it would be nice.

The best solution I know is the 'Simfeeling Six-Dials' mod which leaves your screen completely blank and turns all three dials into giant quarter-screen monsters which makes it easy to click on the correct bearing and depth.
