Hi Benzin
Sounds like you are playing without TDW's NewUI.

As you can see in the picture they work in the same way as SH3.
Pressing the shortcut T key brings up the teleporting stations.

TDW's Options File Editor Viewer will allow you to make a number of changes to a large number of game settings.

This Picture shows further changes that can be made to the Officers by when using the OFEV.

Hi THEBERBSTER,
Yes, i dont use TDWs UI. For some reason it makes the game run slow for me. I use several other mods and the game runs good, but as soon as i enable that UI, the load times tripple, the mouse gets kind of slugish, etc.

I think its because all the stuff it adds. Wich is great of course, but the truth is i dont need or want about 90% of it. Not interested in automation, ships log or any of that stuff.
Another issue i have is that my screens feel "cluttered" with all the new buttons and stuff (even after customizing it).
Needless to say, im not undermining TDWs *excellent* work (without his mods and patches sh5 would be long gone from my pc), its just that that particular mod doesnt fit my needs.

Ibe also tried UI-boat and magui UIs, but somehow i feel more comfortable with the stock UI. I dont like the super rusty look of magui, i dont like the top & right icons and scopes in ui-boat.

I made a *very* basic mod that just extends the stock bearing bar so i can pick any heading i want, removes the tutorial icons, adds a nomograph and a 3000m bearing overlay to the map, and hides the itemnotes. And i must say that as far as UIs go, i am happy with it
About the only thing i miss right now, is the ability to give order to my officers without having to walk up to them (im using MCCMD + EMCCMD). Thats why i need an officers bar.
I wish there was an officers bar -only- mod.

BTW, i want to thank you again THEBERBSTER, for helping me out getting the TDW patches to work, and for those excellent posts/guides you have on modding this game. It is safe to say that without that, i would have unininstalled the broken bugfest this game is in its stock form.
Thanks!
