Green bars have disappeared!?

[FlankSpeed]

I've just added OLC Gold and ACM reloaded for OLC + ACM Lite to my GWX SH3 install. Everything seems to be working fine except that the green efficiency bars from the crew management screen have vanished. This is not a biggie for me as I play with crew fatigue off, and I know how many guys and what qualifications I need to keep these areas running smooth. But I was just wondering if there was a simple way to get them back, and wether this is a known minor issue, or if this is a sign of some terrible game breaking instability which will do something awful like corrupt all my save games further down the line.

Nevermind, I was reading some threads and found out the mod includes some kind of realistic repair time fix, which also disables the green bars. So all is well!

Although, I do wonder if there is a way I can get my watch officer to call out range again with OLC, I know he's far too accurate and can be considered cheating, but sometimes I'm too lazy to do everything myself!

No shame in having your crew do the work they were historically supposed to be doing.

Damn right, me and my WO1, we used to be such a team! ::sob::

Anyways, the shiny new aob wheel thing seems pretty useful and not too confusing, and I love how the mods actually give you a reason to use the observation periscope, but I can't find any tutorials on the new rangefinder lines on the UZO.. can anyone explain how to use them or can point me in the direction of a guide?

Don't you multiply the mast value by whichever UZO line the ship is under?

Not 100% sure.

Thanks, that seems to work out.

As long as you don't over-use him it's not a cheat.
Consider him to have called the QM to the bridge with a stadimeter.
If you want to take it further, wait 2 or 3 minutes after an initial sighting before asking for the closest visual contact.

But remember in the real world you can make a judgement on distances. On a computer screen you have no depth perception, and thus can't.

You either get better information than you would by using the WO.
Or, you get much worse information than you would by not using him.
There is no perfect solution. Personaly, in this case, I prefer "too good" over "too bad".
