As far as the "free cam mode" I can't help you.

IRT "radar rotate buttons"

I'm think of adding the following to the next release of OMEGU and would like some opinions:

[limkol]

Looks good. I especially like the idea of moving the message box. It always seemed to get in the way. Could you make it as transparent as possible?

[etheberge]

I love the smaller clock and the old style tools but I personally think the message box looks a little bit weird there. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be awesome.

Since I see you're tweaking OM and OMEGU here's a few things on my wish list, some of those are available as separate mods but it might be nice to have built in:

1- Historically accurate German flags (Controversial I guess but might be optional install)
2- Darker background for recognition manual
3- Visual detection problems for contacts in some circumstances. (I know this is beyond OM and OMEGU, I'm just saying.)
4- Being used to TMO I really miss some buttons on the menu bar, specifically Open Select Tube, ID Target, Weather Report, Nearest Visual Contact and Max Range at Current speed. These buttons would be awesome to have in OM too.
5- I would love to be able to change skins for all U-Boats to add emblems and stuff but I think you already said they were all in some .dat file and it couldn't be done.
6- Smaller objective icons on the nav map would be nice too.

Anyway these are just some ideas if you need them. (Smaller clock and tools used to be on that list but no more )

Also since I'm on the subject I've made a small mod that I've been messing with in the last week, it changes a few things in the Office, like the map on the wall, the background in the window, the Transfer screen and the scrolling background map when you get your orders. I haven't released it yet but if you like it and want to include it in OM or OMEGU please go right ahead. Link is below.

Thanks for all your hard work on OM, OMEGU and RSRDC, SH4 wouldn't be the same without them.

[Reece]

Moving the message bar to the bottom is an excellent move!

[Wilcke]

Lurker,

Yes, to the proposed changes.

Thank you,

[Deep Source]

Yes to changes. Improve the menu bar is a good change to do.

[vinceor]

Changes sound fantastic. However, please leave as an option.

The "message box in tool bar" has been dropped because of issues with screen resolution that generate unsat results. Other items under evaluation. I'm adding some new items to the tool bar based on recommendations from 'etheberge'

It's very dramatic when you use F11 and watch. Then, also, too, in the top corner the submerge symbol shows itself - it flickers on and then off. And after what ever has passed, everyone reappears on the bridge. This is only an observation that I have made. I hope this helps.

I have this same problem also. It makes the deck gun almost unusable. I don't mind not being able to fire between waves but getting knocked back to the control room every wave is tough to deal with.

do the following

uninstall OMEGU_v200
go to OMEGU_v200\Data\Submarine
Remove "all" the .sim files
re-install OMEGU_v200 and it should resolve your problem

Just ran into rough weather and noted the following.

Type VII
Kiel 01-1940

In 15m/s seas the boat will not dive or crash dive.

Is it a hosed install or something in the sim file? The pitch and roll in 15m/s is just awesome!

Here is the active mod list.

Rel_SH4_Trans-Atlantic_Radio
Setup Trans-Atlantic Radio and BBC
OpsMonsun_V705
OMv705_to_V712
OM_V712_Hotfix1
OMEGU_v200
OMEGU_v200_Patch1
OMEGU_v200_Hotfix1
OM_Arct_Env


Thank you!
