I agree with Shookum,


SB Camera mod is a so nice must-have IMO, it would bo great to have it working with OLC GUI.

I'm still in a way that i don't know which one to sacrifice ; This is a pain.

Hello,
just installed your latest mod 1.8, before my first peacetime patrol from Koenigsberg in the baltic sea. The graphics are phantastic ! Only thing i do not like is the missing magnification of the deck gun sight - i mean there was a sight to look through, and without any help you almost cannot hit a ship at the waterline, that is more than 1000 m away.

The anchoring ships are not a challenge, but i needed some more practice and chose the tutorial torpedo mission you also showed in the video.
Now i have seen your tutorial 2 times, and it works submerged, even if my torps seem to get a bit more to the right than i intended it. Another thing is when a ship zizags, i had no problem with the "original" manual targeting, but with the new tools it really is a challenge.

However i have no idea how to set up a solution surfaced - no help in the UZO with the rings in the periscope sight, and i have a problem determining the AOB and such with the UZO. I know i could use the periscope, but i did not want to lol. So how do i find the enemy's course without use of the periscope ?

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish

I am still useing a very old version of your enviroment/tools.

I have not updated because I can not bear to lose the zoom levels.

It's a real shame they had to go.

Wow, I go away for a day and not only is there a v1.7, there's a v1.8. Top stuff.

Does this mean that I can expect a v2.0 by the time I come back on Friday night, LOL!?!

Har har :p
I think 1.X has ended up being a sort of public beta. At least it's done now.

Letum,
Since you spend half your time winding people up (not very nice in text :p) I'm not sure whether to answer, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt:
OLCE2 and OLC GUI Special are two seperate mods. You can download the Ubermod and just install OLCE2 without OLC GUI Special and you'll still have whatever zoom levels you're used to.
Cheers,
OLC

So far I've seen not one report of anyone trying a night-time surface attack.
Is anyone else enjoying this feature other than me? I'm very curious to know how/whether folks are liking it.
