A mod for Length in Rec Manual?

[Strawberry]

Hello, it's me bothering again :O:

I noticed that Recognition Manual in SH4 doesn't have the length of the ships, and I miss it a lot because in SH3 I loved to calculate ship speed using the length and the chronometer.

I was wondering why? I mean, the lack of the length is a realism feature? true manuals didn't have the ship length neither?

Also, I was wondering if there are mods that adds the length to the manual, I found this:

But both of them have broken links. I would appreciate it if someone can suggest me a length mod.

Thank you in advance :salute: and sorry for my bad english :oops:

The lengths are added to the Recognition Manual in Optical Targeting Correction. The OTC thread can be found HERE. (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=181172)

As you read the thread, you will understand why the lengths are added to the optical mod fix. It should become clear; Why have correct lengths if the optics are out of proportion? Or better yet, why add the lengths at all?

I should point out that an update to OTC is coming. A version for SH4 patched to only 1.4 is soon to be released.

Also, I have run into a problem with a couple of the "optional" OTC mods that are in the present download. The addition of the "Realistic Scopes" mod will create a CTD when added to the main Optical Targeting Correction mod. I've been waiting to upload the corrected files until the month of May arrives. Just a couple more days.

rockin robbins argues that ships' lengths were not know with precision by American sub commanders, and that enemy ships were also misidentified. I think that may be a reason they are not included in TMO, although I am not sure. However, I am with Capn Scurvy. His OTC mod is a piece of work, let me tell you. The omnimeter blows my mind, especially when I have Jimi Hendrix's spong Purple Haze playing during an attack run! (I haven't figured out how that song was played on Radio Hawaii, but what the heck.)
