Where are these slide out dials and how do you access them?

You go in the Mod Workshop and look for threads about "6 dials simfeeling" or you can get them I suppose by Uboat real simulation website. (For NYGM this is an optional JSGME install included in the download of 2.2)
Besides replacing original speed, depth and compass dials by nice huge slideout ones (good for my aging eyes) this mod installs slideout TDC dials in periscope and UZO view, which means you don't need to go back and forth to TDC anymore.
I have in fact 2 different versions (in NYGM the dials slideout from top, in GWX - I have version from Boris - they slide out from bottom left and are bigger) You also have another slideout for all torpedo managing.
The manual input is activated by Ctrl-T and closed by same. (I changed key in Boris version which was Shift-T so I have same key command in both installs.)
