==========================MOD INFO==================================

This mod is Reaper's excellent Enhanced Ship ID Recognition manual continued, with new skin and ship markings to help with the broken stadimeter. He was kind enough to give me the permission to work further on his mod, all modifications are only on graphic level, the script part is Reapers work. Thank you Reaper.

As you can see the attached image, this mod is dragable and contain not only the recon manual, but also include the TDC dialog panel. By default, the mod has a leather cover skin, but there is also a second skin with a more realistic paper cover. To enable the paper cover skin, first you have to enable this mod, then download the paper skin and overwrite the files.

For the recon manual part I spent a lot of time to measure the whole SH5 flotilla and put markings where we should point the stadimeter to have the best range values. Closer you are to the target, better result you will get. Even so, I managed to get pretty good readings for targets far as 5km, but you need to have a very good and precise mouse for that as there every mm counts. This mod gives excellent results in close and fast battles, where the sub is inside a convoy and is not much time to spend for complicated measurements. Click on the stadimeter, match his line height with the green one from the manual and you should get a pretty precise range measurement.

The XO face is missing in the screenshots, but is is not removed by this mod, but by this "fix" posted by ddrgn. So if you don't wanna see his face in this mod, just follow the instructions from that post.

This works and was tested with the stock UI. Probably will not work with mods where is already a stadimeter fix (ex. TDW UI, Reaper7 UI). Maybe they will integrate it in their mods in the future.

Extract from zip into your SH5 MODS folder, install with JSGME. The paper cover extra skins need to have ERM installed first. Just overwrite the existing files on JSGME warning.

Special thank's to TheDarkWraith who was so kind and improved/optimized the script part.
