GWX3 Conning Tower Gauge Problem

muser · 11-27-13, 09:00 PM

I'm running GWX3 on top of stock 1.4b with no other mods installed/activated.

The several images that follow show the gauges in the conning tower of a IIA.

Notice that when I click on the speed indicator (shown by the position of the mouse pointer) the rudder position indicator moves to the corresponding position on its dial. This same behavior is observed in the IID.

Also, on the IX and XXI series boats, when hovering over these two gauges with the mouse, the upper gauge is reported to be CURRENT SPEED and the lower gauge as RUDDER POSITION. However, on these boats, clicking the speed indicator does not cause rudder movement.

The VII series boats are completely free of the above mentioned anomalies.

Has anyone else run across this behavior in their II's, IX's and XXI's?

[Edit Nov 28 2013: I just tried a fresh install of SH3 patched to 1.4b with no further mods installed. The exact behavior described in this post was reproduced. Clearly, this is something left over from the original devs, and it makes me think they were playing around with making the cluster of gauges up in the conning tower respond to mouse clicks and just never followed through.]

By the way, to the GWX crew: Many thanks to all of you for joining forces and engineering an absolutely amazing piece of work that is standing firmly against the test of time.

The images follow:
