you're the only one so far that's having a problem with the stadimeter then with the UZO, attack, and obs scope's notepads. Works fine for everyone else

Are you identifying the ship correctly?

version 2.1.0

- when officer is dead his order category bar and order bars are disabled

Are you sure that this is good solution?
The player should have possibility to promotion for "empty place" any member of the crew for the new job - obviously with longer reaction time and no advanced skills...

I see it like:
- officer is dead
- the player chooses new crew member for empty station
- if it is other officer, his original abilities are 50%, new abilities: 40%
- if it is pretty officer, his original abilities are 0%, new abilities: 25%

Ability: precision, speed, reaction time etc...
Of course, this is only a proposal - I don't know that it is possible...
I know that other crew member can to trim the ship or make weather report.

A quick look at 2.2.0

I like the look of the new wheel

And now the clock wont show above 32 so no more popping up its working great

I just had a quick play as its Tea Time

not sure this is possible. In fact I haven't been able to 'kill' an officer yet (and I've been taking some heavy fire and damage at times). So all this is unknown until we can verify that crew can be killed (especially the officers). Just because the script manager exposes a property of 'IsDead' for the sapiens (crew) doesn't mean the game actually uses it.

Yes, I am trying it on a map with 4 ships at a range of 1500m with no speed. It measures 1000m...Will try again

try each scope. I've heard some rumors that the UZO can be off at times.

I dont think it works because when I had the problem I came under
fire and although my crew all got Wounded no one died the sub sank first

I get the feeling also that they (Devs) aren't allowing the crew to be killed either. Maybe they'll fix this in a patch sometime.

They cant be killed, because they fit into the story. If you get your XO killed then what?

Well I get correct readings only if measure height without the flag pole...I get the same readings for each of the three scopes.

Hiya,

Do you mean readings from the waterline to top of a funnel is ok ??

If that is the case and all readings are the same, wouldn't that point to just using the stad from waterline to top of a funnel until some clever person corrects the missing flag measurments ??

Anyways, i just redid a fresh sh5 install, gonna try this puppy after tea

Cheers

Haven't had the chance to check the stadimeters in the Mod yet. Had a bit of a setback in my own UI. Would be yery interested in the findings of the stadimeter and what heights its actually measuring to ie Flagtop, Masttop or Funnels. Once we have a difinitive answer I'll redo the Recognition Manual to represent the Measuring points or see if the cfg height when altered has an effect on the games readings.

Well its not the same for every ship. It is really messed up. Maybe it gets fixed in patch 1.2 (it refers to changes to recognition manual)

That is the case for the stock stadimeter, I think DW's notepad stadimeter is working ok though - haven't had a chace to test it yet.
