NYGM - Chronometer not visible (but working) & a few other things

I tried to do everything via JSGME now; I followed the instructions as well as I could (it is a bit confusing with all the patched .exe that you need to copy and place in specific locations) and tried to activate everything via JSGME instead of the copy-and-replace I did earlier.

This time around I also had the newer Option Selector, with Stiebler's fixes available as its own button (previous attempt did not have this.) In it I had everything else checked, including Stiebler's, except: Realistic Repair Time(documentation says incompatible with NYGM, which has its own) and Bad Weather Fix(I think this needs to be off for some of Stiebler's fixes, right?). Additionally there was an option that was turned off by default named Diesel Damage Fix which I turned on, not sure if that is OK but I found nothing stating otherwise. I also set both Oxygen meters to 2.0, one being 2.5 initially.

I have some confusion about the order especially due to some documentation:





So is my activated mods list ok then, with EnvSimAct_10 after Stiebler4C? How about the Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME) which comes with the H.Sie patch if I recall correctly?

If it is of any use I noted that the "Smoke on the horizon!" modification mentioned in Stiebler4C documentation worked, I heard/saw that message for the first time (that 4C was not in use a day or two ago.) I have not tested the messages and wolfpacks yet.

Current JSGME activated mods, once crashed on loading, once played OK:
NYGM Tonnage War V2.5 - Stand Alone Version
NYGM3_New
NYGM3_6F
NYGM_2017A
IABLShipsforNYGM_New_Thomsen
Stiebler4C_Addon_for_V16B1
Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME)
EnvSimAct_10

Hello;
- Use the "Bad Weather Fix" option only if you want to use H.sie's weather file instead of Stiebler's. Either weather file will work but with a 16k environment such as NYGM, you MUST use one or the other; no others. Reason being is because only these two weather files are coded to make the night vision fix work correctly. No others are.
Which one to use is strictly personal preference. They both do the job weather-wise.
But H.sie's supplement folder includes his EnvSim file and Stiebler's folder has an older EnvSim file (that does not have the night vision code). So if you want to use Stiebler's EnvSim 10 file you must install it after both H.sie's supplement folder and Stiebler's so it will overwrite their files.
That is what Stiebler is meaning in his documentation.
- The diesel damage mod is optional. Some like it, some not. I like it myself.
- The recommened O2 settings are left to right, 3.5 and 1.
- Your install order is correct except for the Stiebler and H.sie folders. Their order should be reversed with H.sie's applied first. Your patched .exe should be in Stiebler's folder.
Be sure to read the documentation with both H.sie's and Stiebler's mods. If the items there are not done correctly, etc. you will have game problems.
- In your JSGME options, BE SURE to enable the automatic rollback function.
