Worked thank you , the main file was embedded in the big file. I was activating the BIG file instead of the Min Dials , and the the regular file. (If that makes sense lol)

Sorry to bump a question but; is the journal integrated into 2.3? I see the button next to the map button but how do I access it..

it's disabled until I finish studying up on how to implement my idea fully :DL

sounds good :yeah:

one step closer to automated mast height input :rock: When you click on the 'use stadimeter' in the XO TDC dialog box it finds the ship's name.......that's all currently but that was a major step. Now that I have the name I can get the rest of the info......Then it will set the mast height, then let you use the stadimeter to get the range.

Wow major step indeed I would say, if you get automated without the use of the dial that's not just a major step but one small step for mankind. :salute:

well here's how this is going to have to work for now: I need a file that I can open and read that will allow me to cross-reference the name of the ship found to the actual ship in the \Silent Hunter 5\data\Sea folder. Then I can open up the .cfg file for that ship and read the Mast value to set the mast height. Right now I'm trying to figure out how the game came up with the ship name 'Liberty Cargo'. I look through the entries and none have an exact name of that :hmmm:

\data\Roster\Names.cfg

excellent :yeah:
