That is quite nice, and looks top notch!

^5ss the Hitman...

I'm looking forward to building this one too!

Now if I could only find a mechanical stopwatch for a reasonable price.

Bravo, Silverleaf. Very creative. I stash all my "circular slide rules" in my sextant case. I'm not as ambitious as you. Well done.

As always, Hitman, your work is fascinating in the extreme!

Cheers,

That dripping sound you hear is me salivating in anticipation of Hitman's new wheel.

Awesome.

I can't get image 1 to print properly, though. In Picasa 3, preview and the actual printed page both have it slightly cropped on the left side. It looked like the image is slightly off center relative to the other largest wheel, image 5, which prints just fine.

I messed with the printer settings and managed to get a printed copy with only a couple mm clippped, so I'll make do with a slightly lopsided wheel. It's the numbers that count.

Otherwise, no issues thus far. Have to get these laminated soon.

Thanks.

(I'm using the No SW rar. I imagine image 1 is the same in both RARs, though.)

Ship rec manual
 

I want to make it myself, I saw your rec manual has the quick search tabs that is why I am asking you if you have an electronic copy of it.
If you have, can you please post it?
Thank you very much.

I downloaded the recognition manual from a website that has long since ceased to exist. It's only good for stock SH3. I don't have the right to post it, but if you PM me with your email address, maybe I could help you.

Is this wheel ready yet?
What will it do differant to the the Attack Disk?

PS Attack disk is excellent.

The wheel is ready, but my printer broke some months ago and I have not been able to construct my own wheel yet :damn:, hence I haven't done a release because I didn't want to give away an untested item :nope:

Not much, in fact it lacks the Vorhaltwinkel (Lead angle) feature. Basically this wheel allows you to:

-Convert relative target bearings to true target bearings
-Convert target course if known in AOB
-Secondarily, convert target AOB in target course

Please tell us that you are going to make a backside to it similar to your previous one, but in the style of the new wheel.

Oh, and with an ST scale so we can manually do ranges and such...

Sorry, but unfortunately not by now. :dead:

AFAIK the real wheel didn't have it, and adding a ST scale would mean lots of additional work which I don't have time for right now. But may be in the future :yep:

OK, I won't beg for a second helping of free ice cream, you've done enough for the Subsim community already. Thanks again!

Does anyone have a link or scans (with better resolution) of the original instruction manual (1942) Kapitänleutnant Hähl mentioned in his handbook?

I have only some pictures of the original manual, which come from one that was sold on e-bay long ago. Hence the pictures only have the resolution that the seller made them, and do not cover all pages.

I you are interested in them, I will browse my archives and see if I can send them to you or put a link here for download.

:salute:

That would be great! :yeah:
