Great find Used it tonight.

Excellent find - wish it worked in 1024x768, but I never could get that to work, even after going back to the stock manual (I'd been using the sliding mod). I did manage to get it working with the stock manual at 1280x960, so that has become my new resolution. Finally managed to resize my captain's log and reposition my message box for the new resolution - can't wait to try this out on patrol, but too late tonight so will have to try tomorrow.

Thanks for figuring this out - been bugging me since day 1

You're welcome. It's funny the things you can find in this game when you aren't even really looking for them.

You say you found a way to reposition the captain's log - how did you do this? I've been trying to find that line in the Menu_1024_768 file and haven't found it yet.

Check this thread for the details of how I expanded/relocated the Captain's Log clipboard so it would display my personalized log entries better than the tiny stock version: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...220#post562220

The numbers shown there are for 1024x768 - I'm pretty sure it still works that way at the higher resolutions, but I wanted to expand it even further to take advantage of the extra real estate you get with the higher resolutions so I worked on it some last night. I'll be posting an update for my even-larger version for higher resolutions in a bit - wanna test it a little more than I could last night just to make sure everything works right.

Enjoy!
