For those that wish to use the 3000 Yard/Meter Bearing Plotter with Operation Monsun and its Environment Pack (OMEGU), download the specific size Bearing Plotter mod from the "Downloads" menu of
this page (scroll up to the top of the page^^^).....found under "Silent Hunter 4", "Game Play Mods", Page 3 (the metric versions are on page 4...as of the posting, Dec. 2014). Choose the specific resolution mod that match's the resolution you're using to play the game, and the option of unit measurement your using as well (Meters or Yards). Once the correct 3000 Yard/Meter Bearing Plotter is extracted into your JSGME "MODS" folder, open it:
By "right" clicking on the mod's "Submarine" folder you will open a Windows submenu....clicking on the "New" heading will bring up another submenu, click again to create a new "Folder" within the Submarine folder of the Bearing Plotter.
Now, open the "Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific" game folder, drill through the folder's Data/Submarine to find the following German subs that are added when using OpsMonsun_V705/OMv705_To_V720/OMv720_Patch5/OMEGU_v300/OMEGUv300_Patch7:
Using the above list as a guide, "Rename" the "New" folder you just made in the Bearing Plotter's Submarine folder to match the first playable German submarine folder above...."NSS_Uboat2b". Do this folder "Creation"/"Renaming", for each of the German submarine folders found in Operation Monsun (there are 16
new German submarine folders from OM).
Once all folders are accounted for, "Copy and Paste" the specific "xxx_shp.dds" image file to all folders (it doesn't matter from which folder you choose the "_shp.dds" file, you'll be changing its name in the next step):
Your last step is to "Rename" each of the "_shp.dds" images to match the specific submarine folders name it's now placed in. In other words, "Rename" the above file "NSS_Uboat9d2_shp.dds" (after it's put into the first folder "NSS_Uboat2b"), to "NSS_Uboat2b_shp.dds". Do this for all folders, except for the two that's highlighted in green.....their already corrected from the stock game submarine inventory.
That's all there is to it. When you activate the 3000 Yard/Meter Bearing Plotter through JSGME, the added German submarines of OM/OMEGU will have the correctly sized Plotter for each sub available.
==================
As it was pointed out, these files are large. The larger the resolution, the larger the image file needed to be to correctly provide accurate range. The 1920x image is 92"x92" wide. That's over 7 1/2 feet square!! If you have more than 2 gigs of memory, its particularly important to put the extra memory to use by using an app like "
Large Address Aware" to have the game run as smoothly as possible.
