Thank you very much.
I liked that interface and I decided to give it a shot.

You're welcome, and once you've tried it I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

I must say this is the first mod for the interface that I use.

1. It has the most wanted pieces of equipment (TDC) gathered in one place.
2. The big dials are a good point , but I think it will time for me to get used to them. I have been using the standard interface so far.
3. The navigation tools are from SH4 , nice touch.
4. What I don't like is the red lighting at night times. Is there any way to change it?
5. I still haven't tried shooting a torpedo using this interface.
6. It didn't cause any CTD so far

I'm sure it's possible, as there are mods that change the nighttime lighting, but I'm not sure of the exact process. I know I tweaked lighting colors for daytime/nighttime on my old installation but I just got everything reinstalled and haven't even started looking at my mods again. Memory fails without the files to look at and I'm on the wrong computer at the moment.

There's a setting in the interior .dat files that controls the color of the daytime/nighttime lighting in various parts of the boat. Someone here will be able to tell you exactly where to look, otherwise I'll check back when I have a chance to look at my mod files again.

In the meantime, there's a thread here about making some of those types of tweaks, it may point you in the right direction:

Sounds pretty good...

I was just looking at it as well and I must say some of the features do seem quite nice. Only thing is, I'd have to merge a few files to get it to run without conflicts so it'll have to go on my to-do list for the time being. (Too many other projects already on the go)...

I am still having trouble with the new locations of the instruments.
Playing so many years with the standard interface has caused me to mechanically move the mouse to standard locations , habit!

I hear ya...

I've always used the standard GUI as well so I'm sure I'll end up in the same boat. A quick flick of the mouse followed by a click and a 'what the hay, where'd the control go?'

Well , I gave it up for my current career. I managed to reach March 1943 and I don't want to ruin it.
I will test the GUI in my next career.

Probably a good idea. When you've got that much time invested, (all the way to '43), you're better safe than sorry. Good hunting and stay alive!
