Yes.

I'll take a look at making a "Magnified HUD Dials" for the 1.4 version. There is already a 1.5 version found HERE.

Also, I'll look at what themrwho was trying to do with the OM+OMEGU mod. But, I'll need a little help. I've never loaded Operation Monsun or the OMEGU (which I guess is an environmental package?). I see Lurker lists the following as one option for installation:

Install instructions
Only install in port
Install with JSGME in the following order:

OPTION 1

If you wish to play Uboat operations

OM v705
OM v720
OM v720 Patch 5

If you wish to play Uboat operations ONLY and use OMEGU

OM v705
OM v720
OM v720 Patch 5
OMEGU v300
OMEGU v300 Patch 7

If you wish to play Uboat operations ONLY and use OMEGU plus optional OMEGU mods:

OM v705
OM v720
OM v720 Patch 5
OMEGU v300
OMEGU v300 Patch 7


So, am I correct in saying that the following:

OM v705
OM v720
OM v720 Patch 5
OMEGU v300
OMEGU v300 Patch 7

placed over the SH4 version 1.5 game is the install order that most of you guys use? Also, is the OMEGU v300 and it's patch in the original OM v720 download, or do I have to look for it in another thread?

Cap'n, that load worked for me, although the fileset is called "OM v705 to v720", not just "OM v720". On the SubSim SH4 megamods download page, each fileset is a separate download. Don't know if they are bundled together at a different location.

BTW, even if you have no interest in the ATO, OM is worth looking at just to gain an appreciation for the great flexibility of the underlying SH3/SH4 engine. A shame UberSoft didn't care more about what they had.
