Hey, you're on Gold Coast?...going there in 2 weeks with my family for one week rest
if i recall well, we'll stay at Mari Court resort...but we are going to be frozen!
At 24° C, we are already cold here

very very good work Naights ,
professional level work

Very impressive Naights! The UI might finally look like WWII sub simulator rather than some (too modern looking) nuclear submarine...


I have already been playing with the idea of changing the sidebar icons (surface, periscope depth... etc) myself. they still look too "industrial/modern" to me... If you would like some help with this, it is definitely project I would like to get involved in...

U-Jagd needles, full resolution:



The same, but scaled to fit the U-Jagd face texture posted @ post #1:



I have added screwless needles as optional, as screw reflections spinning with the needles would look odd (using them, the screw should be placed directly on clock face).

For the same reason, I have not used shadowing effects on needles (shdows would be static, following needle's rotation instead of light position).

Hope you like them. Later today I will work on the day/night/weather gauge as I had suggested yesterday

Sure Conus, if you want other icons why not to get involved? all we have different tastes, more options, much better

Thx Gap, better with no shadows, looks perfect.

This UI looks really nice, great job looking forward to this one

@ naights

Day/night indicator, to be used in place of the captain face with the horizon on the background:



Likewise the clock needles posted below, the image is png format with transparent RBG channel, but if you prefer I can send you the psd file with separate layers.

P.S: can anyone using MFCM Alt faces send me frontal portraits of the officers, preferably against neutral backgrounds

Don't you think they are too cartoonish??

I agree completely. One of the biggest issues I had with default SH5 was the "cold" interface, more suited to modern naval simulations - this looks like it will make the game come alive.
