How do you determine "Rudder" Input w/ new interface...???

Trouble is, the gauges tell you depth, battery charge, speed, dive plane angle etc.
None of 'em tell you your rudder setting.
Therefore I think his complaint is justified.

Good start, keep it up mate. This game needs modders like none before!

Thx DW Now when do you start on a functioning UZO for surface shots ?

Got it!

What, you don't see floating gauges in front of you all the time? Am I the only one?

Using the interior gauges would be fine, but a lot of them don't work. As far as I can tell, the only compasses in the sub that work are the ones at the helmsman's station and the sonar station, and there's no way to order a heading, anyway, outside of creating a waypoint. Some of the other 'dummy' compass repeaters always indicate north (conning tower, topside, engine room, etc), and some of those don't even have a bearing card in the center or them, instead having a generic dial that goes from 0-10 (incidentally, the texture for which is called "hudfake.")

This game is really, really unfinished.

That being said, I'm still enjoying it, although I've had to accept that I have to play a bit more 'arcadey' until the modders take over.

I see everything is there just needs to be sorted out and fixed. This thing it totally FUBAR'd to no end.....
Currently trying to make a python script to renumber the page files (i.e. [G3F Ixx] - so that it will parse the file and start renumbering all the items starting at 1 and incrementing the count with each one). I'm not all that good with python so it's slowing me up some. I'm having to totally slice and dice the page files.....hence why I need something to renumber them.

So your saying if I'm submerged, I can't set a course without plotting waypoints on a map? What about talking to the navigation officer?

Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
At least ubi gave us excellent graphics this time round. Just hope that whats possible to implement via scripts can bring the sim to the level it needs to go. Time will tell, unfortunatly its all been left to modders like yourself.

you can find all the dials you need all over the boat.

command room:




sonar station:
