OLC GUI + GWX2.1 issues

Hello fellow Kaleuns

Some problems I am having with the OLC GUI in GWX2.1:

-I really liked that bearing ring around the boat in GWX. the latest GUI (I think) takes that away. I find it almost impossibly difficult to get a decent plot on the chart on my targets. Will it be possible to install that tool as a separate mod on top of the whole package I have installed now?

-Accurately plotting your target requires your own heading + target bearing + target distance + target angle on bow to determine his course. But the only way to determine angle on bow and distance is through the attack scope which is zoomed out way to far to get any decent readings at distances over 3 kilometers. Combined with the fact that on the surface during the day, you have to stay well away from them to avoid being spotted... I can't get them plotted at all. The watch officer is no use if there are other ships around. (example: in the torpedo training mission I am having great trouble with even the simple task of drawing the general path of the various ships as they all sail away in different directions) Is that realistic? How do you guys handle this? Am I completely missing something here?

Thanks

Btw well done OLC, loving the look and feel of it so far, even if I'm unable to use the interface at long ranges
