First I must to say that this mod looks great!

I also tried this mod in combination with "My favourite dials mod" and Maraz solution for problem with whizwheel is good and works o.k. Thanks!

I'm glad people are having success with the tools. Thanks for the positive feedback

@abel

The attack plate isn't really the primary instrument that one would have expected, it's true, but as you say it looks great. It is more helpful at longer range for really getting into a good position for a convoy attack, but as you imply, getting a good position isn't as important as before.

Still if you would like to keep it, one thing that could be done is to port the whole tool over to the attack map screen, but that would be quite time consuming.

An alternative would be to have it as a slideout function, but as you have a screen full of slideouts, finding a spare spot to keep it could be difficult.:hmm:

If you give me a suggestion I'll put it there.

On a more positive note, in the near future Onelifecrisis' complete new GUI with U-jagd could be the solution to all problems!

Hehe indeed

If possible placing it at the center top screen would work for me at least, as I have nothing sliding out there. (just to the left of the Stop Watch) I'll see if I can get a screenshot tonight showing a good place for it. As for porting it to the NAV or Attack map screen, that would have been the ideal solution - I'll have a look and see if I can get it to work. (Altough, with my complete lack of modding experience this will probably take months

)

Adding dials to the Attack Map screen (using the TDC page) is easy enough, but Joe and I have been unable to get any dials working in the navmap page.

Just adding a dial in the normal way doesn't work. I tried adding a new page and making that page a child of the navmap page but that doesn't work either; in fact the number of pages ("groups") and the functions allowed on each page, seem to be hardcoded! If anyone knows if/where these settings can be hex-edited (or any other method of getting a dial to work on the navmap page) please let us know!
