What Gui do u prefer using GWX?

I use FLB_Sales's 'Simfeeling 6-Dials' mod. All six major dials are very large slideouts and there is nothing on the screen ever unless I call it up. As for targeting, well, I'm not much good at math or perceptive thinking, so I still use WE Assistance. No GUI at all. Also no widescreen.

Steve, I just want thank you for the inspiration. I don't use a GUI much, and when responding to this thread, I realized that I had already implemented all the button commands as keystrokes, which are activated by Eric Knepfler's SHSpeech software. So all the officers are out of sight on a slider. But I thought I still needed the dials because dial-setting is the way SHSpeech enters speed, depth, course, etc. When you mentioned the FLB_Sale's slideouts, it got me thinking. I decided to try and put all the dials onto slideouts which SHSpeech would pull out as needed. Took a little fiddling, but now it works fine! I have just the 2D and 3D screens with a transparent message bar. If I want to check depth or speed, I go to the control room and look at the gauges. I also got rid of all digital readouts on the sliders, except for TC, which is a computer artifact anyway. It is a cool way to play. (I tried this first a while ago with SH5, which has a more integrated voice command and was easier to do.) Now I no longer have a "dashboard" or "instrument panel" (maybe "Google Glass?") floating in front of me whenever I look around. All I see are my surroundings - the sub interior or the bridge view. So I guess my preferred GUI is - no GUI at all!

Hey than i already achieved sth with my thread

Btt: i use OLC with ACM for the AOB Tool i think the scale is better than the one in MaGui

Does anyone know of a mod that uses the OM dials from sh4 or even if they are at all compatible with sh3? Stock gwx ui would be sweet with a few tweaks like one of the various officer icons and the glassy looking dials from the sh4 u-boats. The boarinstrument 1.0 mod has the best gauges, imo. Just found them and they are pretty good!

I thought that's what this thread was.

I've used most of the GUIs available. Since I switched to manual targeting (non notepad) I used MaGui. Before that I loved Simfeeling 6-dials.

I'm currently using ACM Reloaded. I think it does a great job of representing the differences in the periscopes views.

My 2 cents.

I agree with Tupolev about the reason for ACM reloaded.

I use OLC and ACM reloaded because I enjoy having to use the round vernier thingy to estimate distance/AOB and ACM reloaded makes the observation scope actually worth using.
In most mods the views from the observation scope and attack scope are the same. I have no idea what is "real" but to me this made me always use the attack scope. With ACM reloaded, the observation scope is much larger so I am forced to use it to spot and "observe" then switch to the attack scope when they get closer because it's view is smaller but has the distance and angle stuff (OLC).
