RAOFB and Standimeter - what am I doing wrong?

[kylania]

So I'm trying to use the RAOFB wheel tonight and I'm getting all sorts of crazy not matching up information. Hopefully someone can show me where I'm going wrong...

Even if I set it to 4.8 it's only a 100m difference, not the 1000m different I'm getting from the standimeter vs the wheel.

If I try the different standimeter height listed in the other SOAN (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5162/5368991895_eb30db090d_b.jpg) I found earlier I get an even stranger range reading:

And if I try to make the standimeter match the RFAOB wheel, this happens:

Not even on the ship!

So... where am I going wrong here please? :)

Hi Kylania:salute:

See here for a thread for ROABF in SH5 using TDWs UI
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=178545

See here for testing you scales in your wheel to ensure you are using the ccorrect ones for you screen size http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1567412&postcount=90

See here for Tutorials for both Stadi and RAOBFW http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177725

And here for a tool to check what you are seeing. This tool will give you the correct range and aob to test your readings http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3099

The test thing you linked to is gone now.

I've watched all the tutorials and followed them step by step and that's when I noticed my values were all off.

Does the RAOBF only work with 1280x960 resolution? Because I haven't used such an ancient resolution since the 90s. 4:3 is dead, long live 16:9! :|\\

It is within TDC helper and is called "AOB Range Finder"
Install with JSGME
Use the Automation page button to select it under tutoriaals:up:

With Either TDWs UI or MO there is a folder called "Scopes Open and read"
In here are the mods to set your camera to the correct size and the reticules to match :up:

Ah ha! I'd read that folder, but when I saw the mod defaulted to Manos, I didn't check any further. :)

Thanks. Just ran through your wonderful in game tutorial, and while the ship in the example (at 221) wasn't there, I was able to get accurate readings on another ship.

Thanks!
