Default Extra maps, charts, stop watch & compass on Grey Wolves

Here is some information for those of you (like me) who are unaware of the extra maps and charts on Grey Wolves.

Hidden on the far left side of the top bar of the navigational map (almost completely out of site) are the bottom corners of 2 additional maps and two conversion charts. Click and drag the corners to open. Also, the wood grain item at the center of the top bar is a duplicate stop watch. As well as a compass in the right top corner. Click and drag these as well to open. By the way, to operate the stop watch you first have to go to the periscope or uzo views and click those stop watches to start then you can go back to the navigational map and watch the duplicate stop watch to mark points of time on the map to compute distance and speed.

Hope this is helpful to some of you like me that have heard bits and pieces about extra maps but were unable to locate them.

Default Stopwatch issue

Something real silly happened to me tonight while fiddling around with the Grey Wolves stopwatch. Please don't laugh, i'm quite irritated with myself

There it goes: I dragged the stop watch to bottom left corner of the screen and now I am unable to drag it back to view... I can see the top of the wooden frame and metal part of the stopwatch but it won't move, as if stuck behind my officers icons.
Great addition to the sim but I guess I've already porked it, like so many other things in my life:rotfl:

Any hint on how to get it back where I can use it?

thx

Try switching screens to see if you can move it
You never know
If not I believe it should go back on next reload

thanks guys. Switching screens, saving game and reloading would not do the trick. But quitting the game and reloading the latest save got my stopwatch back where it was meant to be.
you should have seen me... my face a few inches from the screen, staring at the screen trying to grab that one pixel to bring it back! doh

Yep the uzo/periscope view also has a flag page with when the countries enter the war up in the top left corner.
