Default Trigonometry Formulas

Gruss Gott alle Kaleun,

I'm not very good at Maths, and even though I have made my 3 Wizz wheels I'm still not too proficient with it. I'd rather use my Scientific calculator. -
So planning to take one more step toward more realism and Manual Targetting ( I'm at 74% ), I wonder if a good soul ( and a good Math brain too) could make a resume of all ( or as many as possible ) trigo formulas that this game involve. I think it would be usefull for the all community. All that could be classified in various sections, like : Target Speed, Range, AOB etc... But that's only a suggestion.
Thanks in advance, if it ever takes shape. JMV

Look at my signature, there is a complete procedure to manually shoot... i made long time a go for a SH II Mod... but it is valid for any subsim, maths are the same.

OLC ubermod... takes all the guess work out of any mathematics and you will be workign with equipment available to U-boat commanders at the time.

It takes me about 10 -15 seconds to set up each shot.

its a snap.

CutePDF Writer is a good free PDF print utility/driver. You just print your doc to it like any other printer.

Nice guide RW Will have to give it a go at some point as I have never used Manual Targeting with SH3, but love it with 4.

@ Pisces

aeronautical engineer hmmmm ? I shouldn't be too far off the mark if I say you must be an FSX player... That's my best guess. If not, try it, it's a great sim too. JMV ( and tks again )

Yeah, I know about FS(X). Have played the earlier versions, but not FSX yet. In college we even had a real cockpit section of a Fokker F28 (pilot side and a partial co-pilot side) built into a stationary simulator running FS98. Hands on the yoke and feet on the pedals. That was big fun.

Hmm, found a picture of it on a site of a buddy of mine.

However, that education wasn't finnished as I planned it. And with the years passing my interest in aviation took a bit of a nosedive.... and I ended up here in the water. :rotfl:

@Pisces,

You should seriously consider buying FSX Deluxe Edition. It's a great improvement from the previous versions... and in conjunction with SH3, you can be pretty sure, to be glued to you PC 24/7:rotfl: . Got 224 different planes in total, not including the different versions of every one of them... And favorites folder on FSX is... well, 401 Mb, a bit smaller than SH3 though. JMV
