Length: 135 m (441 ft 6 in)
Beam: 17.3 m (56 ft 10.75 in)
Draft: 8.5 m (27 ft 9.25 in)
Speed: 11 to 11.5 knots (20 to 21 km/h)
Compare this with with the .cfg values:
MaxSpeed=10
Length=147
Width=18.1
Mast=24
Draft=5.8
Displacement=7000
Ofc, we all saw this ship running with 12-14kts, so the game takes the values from somewhere else that the sea folder. So.. this is a lost battle. |
I wonder if the ship models themselves are accurate in scale to the real deal.
If so then I can use the Liberty Cargo as the base ship to configure my RAOFB Graticule markings. And from there find the ingame ship lenghts for the rest - a lot of work but once the RAOBF is calibrated the work could be spread among many.

Again it would just be a case of matching the values between the .sim and .cfg files.
Is it just the speed that the .sim uses SteelViking
EDIT: Just looked at the NLL.sim in the data/sea/NLL/ folder for the Liberty cargo and don't see any reference to speed.
Also these are the valuse in its cfg file.
ClassName=LL
3DModelFileName=data/Sea/NLL/NLL
UnitType=102
MaxSpeed=13
Length=147
Width=18.1
Mast=27.1
Draft=5.8
Displacement=7170
Now the war supplies version is:
ClassName=LLWarSupplies
3DModelFileName=data/Sea/NLL/NLL
UnitType=102
MaxSpeed=11
Length=147
Width=18.1
Mast=24
Draft=5.8
Displacement=7170
while the Large Steamer which is a clone also of the Liberty cargo
ClassName=KLWarSupplies
3DModelFileName=data/Sea/NLL/NLL
UnitType=102
MaxSpeed=10
Length=147
Width=18.1
Mast=24
Draft=5.8
Displacement=7000
Now if your not using my UI then all the ship config files for clones are set to mot show in the recognition manual.
Hence why when targeting a clone you will not get the correct picture with the correct info showing in the rec manual.
Magnum, you can do as I did for your rec man mod. Include all the cfg files and delete the
showinrecognitionmanual = False
for all the clones.
