I plan to add more delays to other items, the EOT being one of them and switching to/from silent running. I wanted to see how this 'delay' system would fly over with everyone first before adding it to many other items. So far it seems everyone is liking the idea of non-instant orders.

What's wrong with it? How is it not working for you? How are you trying to make it work? You have to have a contact selected (either locked onto or in your scope's crosshairs), your current scope has to be above water (or you're surfaced), and then you can enable follow target.

I didn't realize the journal was so 'bright'. Which parts of it exactly are too bright?

Dem, the follow selected target worked great for me. All I did was spot the target in the periscope and press "spacebar" to lock on, then press the "follow selected target" icon and click it. My sub started following the ship quite nicely and then I started requesting Target Speeds.....

Is the follow target less 'jerky' now? It should be pretty smooth in it's following now since it's using my new timer class to determine update time.
How is the new SH3 style target speed calculator working for you?
Does the game appear smoother now with the mod than before? How is the FPS?

Looks and works great DW. I didn't see any jerky motion at all, it's as smooth as butter. I requested target speed and was rewarded with a target speed of 4.5 kts. I missed with two fish at 2400m but then again I miss a lot as I haven't quite grasped the manual TDC yet. This is a great UI sir, keep up the fantastic work.

GRAT MASTER!!!

I agree with DonZorro, mane people want to look graphical changes for this version at 1st page - maybe the most expected features?

Hm, hm, hm - the 4.5 kts value is probably not real... better way is 4 or 5. Of course in my opinion.

Correct. The 4.5 automatically rounded up to 5 when I entered it...

My first post (post #1) would be HUGE (like it isn't already ) if I were to include pics of the new features and all. It's just not feasible.

4.5 kts is a real value. Using the formula would result in fractional values. The speed dial of the TDC does allow for fractional values of speed so that is why I left one decimal place of fractional value from the speed estimate. The XO TDC dialog box does not allow fractional values, only whole numbers.
Being that the whole SH3 style speed estimator is only as accurate as your initial range reading and AOB input I figured giving the user one decimal point of accuracy in the speed estimate was a good trade-off.

how about a screenshot of when you're attempting to enable follow target? There's a reason why it's greyed out and maybe seeing a screenshot will help me tell you why it is.

You have to upload the pic to a picture hosting service or here to subsim.com. Then get the link from it and using the Insert Image icon in the 'reply to thread's toolbar paste that link into the dialog box and presto! Image inserted into post.
