New & frustrated

Hi All,
New to the forum. I've been "playing" SH since version 1 and have always loved the game, ever more so with each evolution... until SH5. God, it's awful. The graphics are pretty good but what has happened to the user interface? Where are all the controls? How are you supposed to order a helm change when at the chart table? What the heck are the rest of my crew doing while I'm doing all the work? Instructions, what instructions?

I bought the new version immediately on seeing it for sale and only found the discussion groups after giving up after three hours of frustration. After my second attempt at getting to grips with it I've joined the forum with the hope of downloading some mods from the geniuses out there who have volunteered to do Ubisoft's job for them.

All I really want is the same immersive experience I've had with previous editions, with a not unrealistic expectation of improved graphics.
