This version works at all resolutions, but you will have to correct the size of 2D sensors in the ini file yourself. There is no U-Jag here - it is not compatible.

If you are not satisfied, then the clock is located in [G29 I2], change the coordinates there.

That is great, but I'll need a little more detail than that....not something I am used to working with.

At the moment I don't have DW installed and specifically with the coordinates in [G29 I2] I can't help.

And to correct the size of 2D sensors in the interface from my archive is quite simple - you need to find 6 lines for the word 1920x1080.
Next, the desired permission to uncomment, and not the desired permission to comment out.

Here is the first piece of code with the found string:

Code:

[G3F I20]
Name=Depth 260
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F1F0000
ParentID=0x3F010000
Pos=356,62,90,90
Zone= 868 120 160 160 4 1 0x3F010019 0.5 -1 0x3F1F0000 -0.5 1.5 0 0    ;stok - 1024x768, 1280x768, 1360x768, 1366x768
;Zone= 868 120 120 120 4 1 0x3F010019 0.5 -1 0x3F1F0000 -0.5 1.5 0 0    ;1920x1080
;Zone= 868 120 110 110 4 1 0x3F010019 0.5 -1 0x3F1F0000 -0.5 1.5 0 0    ;1920x1200, 1600х1200 
 Color=0xFFFFFFFF

What to fix here is clear?
Then you go on and fix it in 5 more places [G3F I27] [G3F I36] [G3F I43] [G3F I51] [G3F I57].

Here is a window with messages, you can also change the location of the window for your resolution:

Eh I am a bit lost here.

Okay so 1920x1080 needs to have the ; removed from in front of in the various entries listed and that is it?

Prior to seeing the post I loaded up your mod. I finally had the chronometer, thankfully. However, the resolution looked strange, things were too small compared to normal, conning tower seemed stretched, taller than should be and the 3d crew looked strange.

This correct?

I made the corrections suggested, thinks look normal thus far. I can now see the chronometer finally(!!) and even moved the time back to where it should be on the right instead of down to left over top of the order bar UI. 2d depth gauge, telegraph etc are a little too large, can click below them to get alternates. Fix?

Thank you for the fix! much appreciated.

Bubblehead1980 · 06-08-22, 01:39 AM

Update. FINALLY solved it. Took settings from TMO for the chron, applied to the U Jag add on mod, chrono now shows up in center of screen .

Bubblehead1980 · 06-08-22, 03:52 AM

Made some changes, tested ability get inside convoy. This was in a single mission. No moon, seas were light (for the Atlantic) . Time period of mission August 1940

Convoy was westbound...I avoided the lead escort moved along side the port column of convoy about 3300 yards, while rear escort was lagging behind, I made a "u turn" and increased to flank speed to overtake convoy, aiming to come up the middle between center columns, where best targets typically are.

I made it past the first two (well last two in each center columns) undetected. turned with bow facing starboard center column and stern facing port center column. Targeted a large merchant ahead and mid sized one astern.

Fired torpedoes 1,2, at large merchant ahead, then stern tube at mid sized merchant. Turned starboard to bring tubes to bare on last merchant in column. First torpedoes hit , large fire and explosion. Some sporadic gunfire form merchants. Stern torpedo hit its target, more fires.

Fired one torpedo at the merchant ahead with a 30 degree AOB. Began moving across the convoy at flank speed, dodging some gunfire. Avoiding closing escorts. torpedo hit, merchant exploded and sunk fast, surprisingly fast.

Mowing across the columns for port side to exit, coming under increased fire, flooded down to 7 meters. (mod) This reduced incoming fire, all rounds missed.

Soon had a aft engine freighter or tanker ahead, fired last torpedo. Torpedo prematurely exploded. U-48 was caught in a searchlight of a unseen trawler type escort. on outside starboard column. Clearly illuminated and taking machine gun fire on conning tower. Ordered a crash dive.

After some depth charges damaged boat from two flower class corvettes Since just a test mission surfaced, guns manned and slugged it out.

One corvette rammed me, pretty dramatic moment. Screenshot and others below.

Bubblehead1980 · 06-08-22, 11:33 AM

Thus far only disappointing gameplay issue with DW is tankers do not "blow up" as a loaded tanker should do. Have not spotted lifeboats either. Typically one solid torpedo hit was enough to ignite a tanker. They do catch fire burn, and the fire damage mod is apparently merged into DW as fire appears to damage ships over time (love it) but its rather dull when tanker does not blow up as should.

I've played around with zon.cfg file before but not how to get the boom. Just looking for the fix....

It's work? ask from a player with 1024x768

Very dangerous. you go first.

actually, Fifi created that model because there were some who wanted to emulate the awful decision by the Kreigsmarine to fight it out on the surface.

he did a good job but the career is short and violent.
