Digging this refit!! I'm new to SH5 and went all-in with TWOS 2.2.21 & this refit.

However, I'm having three issues, the first causing major pain.

1. In both periscopes the thickened line at the top is covering too much of the bearing scale and is difficult to use. Can you make a version with a thinner line at the top and/or bottom of both periscopes?

2. Refitted ship textures don't load in until you're close to the ship. If I immediately surface in the RAOFB mission and go to the bridge. The target just to the left of the bow is grey, but when viewed through the binoculars, it is black (just as with the scopes). As you approach the ship with the naked eye it will eventually turn from grey to black.

3. I cannot get the reshade menu to open inside the game after following the steps above, so I can't use the customer shaders. Any tips?

Finally, I have a request. Can you re-texture the TWOS RAOBF to be a little darker & scales clearer? It is blinding when trying to target at night.

I'm running 21:9 3440x1440,75Hz with these mods:

TWoS Aspect Ratio Fix 21x9
TWoS Officer Icons as Stations
TWoS Real Navigation
TWoS SM Interior_Food Stocks
TWoS Encrypted BdU Orders
TWoS Remove Map Plastic Cover
TWoS Missing Nav Map Coordinates_Fix
Boogie's Refit for TWOS v3.0 Complete

In my TWoS 2.2.22 installation with Boogies´s, I don´t see the bad effects in textures you see.

Interior Food Stocks causes some graphics problems when you use external camera. If you use ext. cameras, it is preferable do not use the Interior Foods. I don´t know if this could be the cause of your problem.

Best regards and good luck!

What version of TWoS do you use? I don´t have that textures in my scopes; the default TWoS textures of the scopes are different. Do you use some other mod for the scopes?

Welcome back aboard!

I have TWoS 2.2.22 and no other Scopes Mods.
I was able to remove the two textures.
