REL: Extended FreeCam 1.0

Very good guys, thank you for the explanations. We'll wait to see what stormfly can do with the file you gave him Karamazovnew.

For me, all that is a bit like trying to understand Hebrew. I certainly coul'nt understand what triggers what, and have it fixed by myself .
Is there is the slight chance of reenabling commands <Num 7-1> that would be nice, but no hard feelings if It's impossible.
Thank you anyway both.

Yes, it will be interesting to see what comes out of Stormfly's and KMnew's collaboration.

The longitudinal instability (particularly in the RR) was my only major concern with this mod. Even in the calm water of the Navigational training mission I was being thrown in and out of the superstructure when surfaced. Underwater the movement feels slightly exaggerated but not unbearably so.

The CT camera is also unstable but again, only when surfaced.

Can't say that I noticed anything untoward with the conning deck camera. The movement up there seems entirely reasonable IMO.

Must say I can't see the point of using the numpad keys to get around. I tried this method of control when I saw your first post and nearly tied my fingers in knots! Yes, it is possible (using keys 9 and 3 for up/down) but it is horrendously difficult. Fearing the onset of RSI in the short term and maybe arthritis later in life, I decided not to practice and see if I could get used to it.

I'll settle for the mouse + up arrow key any day of the week!

All in all, I think Stormy's control system is near perfect. The Go-Backs work wonderfully well. Just using the mouse on the slideout station panel plus the officer icons and the normal dials it seems possible do nearly everything necessary to control the boat systems and communicate with the crew. To test this I managed to complete (and pass) the whole Navigational training mission while laying on the Captain's bunk . Bit of an extreme thing to do I know, but it does demonstrate the absence of any real failings with Stormfly's key commands.
