Full 3D Immersion

[Sailor Steve]

I think someone did a mod disabling certain functions, but I don't remember exactly. I never use the side-bar; I used to use the keyboard but now I just click-and-point. Sometimes it's handy to be able to jump to the TDC screen, but now OLC's GUI mod makes that unnecessary as well.

I'm not being judgemental - honest - but why not just do like Sailor Steve ( and I ) and get into the habit of not using the side-bar? It's great fun, especially when you have to run between the bridge and the Navigator's position to consult the chart, then back up to the bridge etc. Just because it's there doesn't man you have to use it.

Some of us just don't have that level of self control. I wanted this exact same mod when I started playing, so I made it. I never released it though.

pino69, removing the shortcuts bar isn't enough in itself - you also need to add all the missing "go back" functions as there are several screens (e.g. the UZO) which you can't get out of in the default setup.

Fortunately this has come up many times before so if you search for "goback" (all one word) you should find the info you need

I've tried using the 'goback' functions without much luck. I'd love to be able to right-click out of the attack scope screens.

Slightly off topic, but I'd also love it if hitting any dive key would default the view to the conning tower rather than the control room, as that is the first place you get to. Now I always right-click from the bridge to the tower before I hit Periscope Depth or Crash Dive.
