For example the periscope doesn't have that silver ring thing around it, but I understand that it's only active if you have manual targeting (which I don't use) selected in the realism options. Is this right? Yes

Then, in the periscope, the bar that indicates the direction (in degrees) in which you're looking is not red and green like in the screen shot but just black. Does this change to the colored version when night time comes? Not sure, sorry.

I also noticed that I can't see the flags sheet in the attack periscope but they're there in the observation one. Is this how it's supposed to be? I have the same issue but am not sure that is how it is supposed to be.

One other thing is that the note pad is no longer available and so I can't tell the range to target or its speed when I have the cross hairs on it. Is there any way I can add this info to the mod?

Probably, but I know I am not experienced enough to tell you. However, OLC's mod was designed for manual targetting and figuring out those things yourself...then inputting them. If you are not using manual targetting, and using the Weapons Officer...then frankly range and speed doesn't make any difference...

I know it's not necessary but I still would like to know it and I think I've seen a screen shot somewhere around here where the person had the speed indicated right below the crosshairs of the periscope.

OLC,

Also has an excellent PDF format manual and a great tutorial you can download. From the sound of your problem it does seem like your install did not go correctly. I know that Manual Targeting must be checked but you must uncheck stabilze view and Weapons Officer NO ASSIST.

Gook Luck!

You may want to post a pic....

if you have manually targeting on, you can klick on this "silver ring" (tool to get speed/range/aob of target). when you click on it the attack periscope changes the bars to your mentioned red/yellow/green bars.

since you have to add range/aob/speed manually there is no need of a notepad anymore.

flags only at observer periscope : i think its wanted, dont know.

i played SHIII one year ago for lets say a month in arcade mode without any mods and are now playing it with GWX and OLC Jagd Tools and after watching the Video Tutorial its no problem to get aob/range/speed manualy. perhaps just download the video tutorial, watch it and try it yourself with manual targeting
