Quick question:

I've seen screenshots of the nav map that has 3 scales on the right side. It's obvious that the purpose would be to be lay a straight edge on two known values and get the 3rd unknown one.

Such as, 5 knots and 1000 yards and you'd be able to see time, how long it would take for a ship traveling at 5 knots to travel 1000 yards.

I was wondering if any of you know what mod that is, or whatever, as it seems REALLY handy to have on the screen.

Maybe this stand alone version I found using search?

I'm thinking the super mods like TMO & RFB both have a nomograph, imperial and metric, or you can edit it in to your game configuration if you are comfortable doing that. That is what I did years ago with an install of SH4 v1.5

I think that is what you are looking for.... Someone may come along with a better link, or this may be it?

Happy Hunting!

AH HA!

Nomograph. That's what I was missing - had no idea what it was called.

Thanks.

I tried the one you show and it works great, only trouble is that it hides behind the HUD, but a quick tap of the DEL key fixes that.

Thanks again!
