When I went back into the game it was still the Enhanced SH5 Hud and TDC.
So... What did I miss?
This isn't a show stopper by any means but I sure do like those Seimans Dials I see in so many of the screenshots in various tutorials, (I'm trying to find those).
As far as the Mods go in general, all seems good. All of TDW's Apps are working and are very handy.
I can't wait to get home again as it was too late last night to play after finally getting everything sorted out.
I'll try getting the SH3 Hud top come up again. By the way, I did import one of the 'dials.dds files, I hope I did that right. Dropped it in the data/menu/Gui before I enabled UI. I may not want that exact Dials file but I used the German/Metric/Default.
Anyway, the UI didn't change to SH3, so I will try again when I get home.
Can't Wait!!

You need to disable the mod, run the options editor viewer app and make changes, then re-enable the mod. That way the changes will 'take' on next game load

Where did you point the app to the options file? In your SH5 folder (sh5\data\scripts\menu) or the mods folder (\mods\new uis\data\scripts\menu)? It makes a huge difference. You need to point it to the mods folder one. The the procedure I said above will work.

Well, everything's working just great. Now I can't decide weather to stay with the SH3 HUD or go back to the Enhanced SH5.
One thing I lost, 'Return to course'. I was just being stupid tonight and hit the Num Pad (.) key and got heading to view, then realised... no return to course key that I know of. Anyway, I kind of miss the SH5 Hud. Go Figure...
This mod along with the rest has made this the best money I've ever paid for any game.
Incredible...
