Hello TDW,
Can the current 6.7.1 patch be applied while at sea? |

Thank you. Hope you had a good vacation.
I had seen in another post you where near the caverns in AZ. Were these the ones just off the old route 66. |

Sure was! Grand Canyon Caverns I believe was the name of them. They are dry caverns. It was quite funny to see that some investors from CA bought the place and have stockpiled MREs, Water, and supplies down in the caverns for an End Of Days type of event

Small world, I live just a little way from there. You may of driven through a small town called Hackberry. All that is there is a general store with a old Corvette outside. I live just south of there.

Great news Starting in v6.8.0 you'll be able to pan/rotate the scope with the RAOBF visible This is something people have been wanting for a long time.
I added a small switch near the top left of the RAOBF. If this switch is down you can pan/rotate the scope with the mouse (you cannot rotate RAOBF middle ring). If this switch is up then you cannot pan the scope but you can rotate the RAOBF inner ring. Switch is toggled either by clicking it or pressing the middle mouse button (if you have a middle mouse button on your mouse). |

Added a new small switch to the top of the Attack Disk front side. This switch controls whether the compass rose is locked to the uboat heading or not. If the switch is down then it's unlocked. If the switch is up then it's locked. Will be available in v6.8.0

Thanks a lot, TDW. Those improvements of interface should be very useful for the 100%-real hunters Small remark re. the switch - may be better if it was like a button, as in Speech rec. interface ('on' - yellow color, 'off' - no color) just to see if it works while a short view when busy with attack calculations. I think it'll be more comfortable and should support more 'unification' of the NewUi.
It's just personnel opinion, if its too bothering or somebody regrets - let the switch be as it is now (not critical). |

thinking ahead here (Danger Will Robinson )......Since you can now export the ship's journal to a text file via the Ship's Journal Viewer I thought it might be nice to be able to export a single day vice the entire journal. Thus I have added a new entry in the File menu: Export current date...
When clicked it will open up a dialog box for you to select the path and enter the filename to save the current date's entries to Also fixed the bug where if you clicked the active journal (journal name located under Ship's Journal in the main menu) in the main menu nothing happened. Now when you click it the ship's journal viewer app will be called. Problem was due to moving the app to a different folder and not updating the mod to point to it some versions ago. Will be available in v6.8.0. |

Here I've got follow target enabled on the aircraft and set follow selected target offset so that the crosshair is just in front of it: If you feel that an item needs it's tooltip revised (or one added) please post about it and provide a screenshot so I can look into it.

Thanks for the assistance everyone. I'll give the scripts a try and the tooltips will certainly make it easier for those just starting out. Hopefully I get to play this weekend.

Another change to ship's journal viewer requested by Sober:
Under View there is a new entry: Google Earth coordinates. If checked then map coordinates will be displayed in the Google Earth style. When exporting a single day or saving the journal as txt file and Google Earth Coordinates is checked then they will be written in this format to the file also. |
