Good evening!

Mostly done with the manual as far as the reference part goes. I'm banging my head on how to make the thing bigger, though. I've tried the "scaling" factor by changing the "parent" to "5" so the vertical is used for scaling and changed a few numbers for the size of the "child" as well, but can't get the thing bigger than what you see. All I wanted was a little bit bigger, that's all.

Here's what I have so far:

Main "country" that gives you access to the listing of hull classifications so that you can figure what you're looking at:

Here's the first page when you open it up. You click on the sillouette button where the mouse arrow is to go to the second page in the book. It's the equivalent of the angled profiles for the ships:

The Carriers and Battleships are "Page 1" (or Page "A" in this case) for the series. Here's the second page ("C1" if you will) of the transports and cargo ships as an example of using the "second" page feature in the Recognition Manual by using the sillouette image. In this case it gives you a note saying that some AKA and APA types may actually be Auxiliary Cruisers (which is what I actually changed their names to).

It's readable, but I'd like it a little better if I can make it larger. Nothing like a monk-written, medieval bible, mind you, just a little lower to the helmsman's neck or out almost to the edge of the TDC maybe? Just to give the reader a better "view" of the thing, that's all.

Does anyone have any idea on how I can do that?

Basically done with this "graphic" portion as long as I can figure how to make it a bit bigger so that you're not squinting so much at my native 1920 x 1080 resolution. My guess is that some folks will have the same problem as well.

I've also replaced the flags with those found in the FotRSU texture folder, so I tried to make the blue "Navy" flag in the same style. I'll show you some of those in the next post. I just forgot to take screenshots of the other countries tonight. It's late and I have to actually work tomorrow.

I'm going to continue coding the "names" line so that I can at least get that moving again until I can figure out the graphics enlargement.

Regards,
