Big shout out to the UBOAT Modding Group! Thank you Urfisch for reaching out and also to sqparadox, who singlehandedly brought this mod back to life with his unbelieveable code wizardry!

Hey Eagle it's back! Can you believe it? :DDD

Most important changes:

Click twice on the button for the regular engine telegraph and the Engine Control Mod will appear left to the vanilla engine telegraph. A third click will disable both of them at once.

The Engine Control Mod gauge is attached to the left side of the original engine telegraph. You can left click and drag the engine telegraph and move it at any place you like.
If you have placed it previously at the left on your screen the Engine Control Mod is possibly outside the visible area and you have to drag the engine telegraph to the right.

The clutch wheel button bug is still in this version. So if you click on one of the shaft buttons below the dial WAIT FOR THE WHEEL ANIMATION TO BE FINISHED before you hide the UI!

If the button breaks: Quit to Menu, reload save game, then set the desired shaft state.
This mod allows to give direct speed order or RPM instead of gear order.
To change between RPM or Speed just right click on the gauge.
The precision is directly related to the presence of an engineer assigned to the Engine Station which otherwise will have a constant error of +/- 1 knots.

When using diesel engine, the minimum RPM selectable will be 100, while when controlling speed it cannot go slower than anything that requires less than 100RPM (which is 3kn forward and 2knots backward).

It is possible to detach one of the two shafts in order to increase turn rate which works even with the default gear selection mechanism.

Speed control automatically deactivate itself when docking (which also hides the control), manually selecting a gear or selects an incompatible time compression.

While RPM control has no limit, when controlling speed this mod works with the following time compressions:

• First person view => up to 12X
  
• Third person view => up to 144X
  
• Orbit view => up to 48X
  
• Map view => up to 12X

Transition works fine, except when using 48x in orbit view and transiting to third person view, there is some sort of bug where for a brief moment the compression is quite higher than expected

This mod does not perform any sort of speed limit on the boat but rather implements a process control (PID) which will do its best to maintain the setpoint.
