If that means that I can drag everything around on the screen, including the periscope view, to end up with something like Adriatico's mock screen (which IMHO looks 100% better), then it's not so bad.

If, however, I can only drag the elements around the periscope view, whilst it remains immovable on the right hand side, then

Either way, modders on your mark...get set...

what im talking about is, has anyone else noticed the cartoonish white outline on anything and everything that is clickable in the game.

is that their answer to improve on the mouse changing size on clickable objects? so now we get cartoon outlines? but i guess its better than having them glow or be illuminated.

Maybe their inspiration is the 2000 game B17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty Eighth?

At least though in it the border only appeared when the object had focus, not all the time a la SH5 looks to be.

Perhaps the window objects can be dragged in different positions.

the map and event camera have the controls to hide and move

and what would mean the cross whit arrows ?? <--->

In those screens, I can see the speed (10 knots), I can see the depth (7 mts.), but... where is the heading????

The SH5 interface developer wrote this here

ok, the interface can easily be modded. but if i see this interface, its a must! i was really shocked, when i saw it first. crappy action-mode...interface.

but i think, as mentioned before, there will be a great need of modding. so lets hope for a good core: a good gameplay and good basics. a good base is essential for modding the game. to get the game we want it to be.

anyway. i stopped judging sh5...theres nothin we can do, than hoping. the game should be released in 2,5 month? ok. this is a tight plan...graphics can be edited afterwards. so please, devs: integrate our long term wishes, regarding gameplay.

- wolfpacks
- nice interior interaction
- smart ai
- good simulation
===
in short: good gameplay, and:

- easy to mod

so, lets take our hands and hope...or should we pray instead?

I am just wondering if Ubi Romania guys understand how SH5 is important in our lives...
How painfull it is to finally have SH5, with a wrong concept of the main screen, that could spoil the whole simulator.

That's why Oleg M. (within the same Ubi) is genius and others are great developers.
He always had the stage of beta testers (number of reliable veteran users, with obligation to test and feedback their feeling, without public disclosure)
So we could be 100% sure that BoB:SoW would not have a missed cockpit concept... (within the same Ubi)

I am deeply grateful for Ubi Romania project, effort and passion... but have to ask myself... do they play that simulator ?
With a periscpe view on the far-right side of screen (the end of screen) ?
With a crew-boy picture at periscope combat view ?

Somebody tell me that this is just i-phone version...

I believe I read somewhere that they intend to release this game on multiple platforms. That means the game's interface will have to be kept simple enough to allow it to be ported to the consoles (Xbox, PS3, etc).

If this is indeed what they intend, I think most SH3/4 fans would find this a wholly unacceptable compromise.

This is a bull**** rumour and I wish people would stop propogating it. There is a separate and entirely different Silent Hunter game begind released on cell phones. That's it.

jdkbph · 01-09-10, 01:49 PM

I hope you're right.

There's a dev posting here though... perhaps he can put this rumor to bed?

The lead designer is actually on record as stating that PC exclusivity might change.

I would like to know if anything definite has been decided in the 2 weeks or so since that statement was made.

Ah, B-17 the mighty eighth, that was a fun game once the worst bugs were ironed out of it.....

urfisch · 01-10-10, 08:02 AM

B17 on Amiga500 already was fun! But MightyEighth was far better. The graphics where fantastic and the feeling was too...
