[REL] Old Style SH Controls (familiar 3 dials) for UI v1.3.1

[karamazovnew]

TDW, I have a request. Can you split the Course dial in 2?
As one can see on the Compass in the Hydro room, the real compass had a Vernier inner dial for easy reading.
Yet sometimes it's nice to be able to turn to a specific bearing without using the periscope . So can you make 2 interchangable dials: one for a standard compass (with vernier) and one for the Bearing turns? Because combining them just puts too much info in one spot and it's hard to read.
The rudder dial is nice to have but we already have key commands for it.

I think the reason so many ppl are having trouble understanding the install instructions are because they are a bit overcomplicated, not to mention the folder structure in the .rar file..

Why not just put the "OldStyleSHControls_1_1_0_TheDarkWraith" folder already in a "mods" folder? And everything else including documentation in an "extras" folder?
(within the .rar file to begin with)


That way its as simple as it can be, "put the mods folder in your SH5 directory". Or even simpler, "extract to your SH5 directory".
Done and finished.

The way that it is right now is somewhat complicated, but it places both German and American versions in the same folder along with the extras that can just be installed afterwards with JSGME. Everything is somewhat seperated at this point because it is changing at least daily while it is being created by DarkWraith. A manual install at this point is ok, and not that difficult.

No thank you, please! With the zooming icon it's quite easy to read both the compass and bearing numbers to be able to plot any course you want, even at 1920x1200. Having to switch to yet another control would be troublesome. You're using the latest version right, coz I can't see how the latest dials would cause trouble.

And we don't have rudder key commands. All we had was 1 degree (worthless) or full rudder. Now we have options for any amount. That's a good thing.
