Description: HD 1 deg Scope Bearing v 1.0 for Silent Hunter 5 (http://www.gamefront.com/files/21267707/gap___HD_1_deg_Scope_Bearing_v_1_0_rar)
Author: gap (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=272959)
About this mod: an high definition bearing scale, calibrated for giving 1 deg accurate readings and useful for players using manual TDC in torpedoing unlocked medium to long range targets.
What is new:
- changed the horizontal resolution from 1024 to 1800 pixels for constant spacing between marks;
- centered the scale toward the 0 deg point, for accurate readings. Stock scope bearings were shifted leftward by about 1 deg;
- used a new font for scale numbers and added some dithering to it.
Compatibility:
- compatible with any version of Silent Unter 5 and any custom UI;
- it should be also compatible with previous games of the Silent Hunter saga.
Known bugs: none, as far as I know.
Installation:
- install JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3951) if you have not done it yet, and configure it to the SH5 installation path (detailed instructions on how to configure it found here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2060920#post2060920));
- look into your main <Silent Hunter 5> installation folder for a subfolder called <MODS> and create if it is not there;
- unzip this mod and drop it as it is into the <MODS> folder;
- enable it after any UI or scope mod by using JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler: http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products-jsgme.html.

As well as AOB slide ruller. Both of them are the good and simple tools that helps not to return to port without kill-score:up:

Thank you for your appreciations guys, :)

but for the ones who think erroneously that the 1 deg scope bearing scale is a simple tool, I will answer with an extraordinary picture documenting the last phases of its beta testing by me and my highly regarded colleagues (someone will recognize stoianm on the right):

As you can see, this mod was the result of years of personal research, and we used the latest technology available back then for calibrating it! :sunny: :D

Sorry Gap, I've meant not 'simple' but 'easy to use' or 'not complicated for users'. My english is pour so such :/\\!! things could happen:salute:

I was just kidding, Vlad. Indeed this is a simple mod. :up:

I has been a long while since I released it, and I cannot remember exactly how long it took to me to create it right now, but I am ready to swear that I spent more time in drawing the banner, redacting the readme, packing and uploading the mod and creating its thread, than I actually did for modding the one files it changes in game!

Wich other mod can break those records? I am even surprised of this delayed burst of popularity. :D

[vlad29]

I has been a long while since I released it - that is the answer,

I am even surprised of this delayed burst of popularity - somebody found it rescently so it is on top of the 1st forumpage by now. Pretty sure most new guys from the community didn't no it is existing, and why - I posted it in "Complete idiots guide..." thread few minutes ago :D

:salute:

[Targor Avelany]

agree with vlad...

It is very small mod (size wise, not meaning), which was burried under ton of other stuff.

But every time I reinstall the game I make sure this mod is in my folder - it is an awesome mod.

Such little, detailed, usefull things really matter in the game, trying to achieve sim level :)

Could you make one of these for SH3, or convert a version for SH3? :oops:

At present I have not SHIII installed on my machine. Have you tried enabling the mod on your SHIII installation already? If nothing changes, it is likely that you need yo change file name and/or path.
