Very good! I think the 80% option looks best.

:up:
About noise, it's interesting, but correctly to estimate picture is possible only in dynamics...

Anvart, you don't need to repost every single image every time you quote someone. ;)

Yeah, the blue. I was thinking more of #3 ... compared to Gino's photo of real PPI ....

GINO's Photo of real PPI

EDIT - but with faded green background from #6

:ping: Mraah

Ok. :up:
It has an orange luminescent layer...?

Yes, hard to tell from screen shot, if that's what you mean.

The effect is like a PPI only grainy post processor effect minus the color change. It's just a basic linear interpolate addition. Needs work, yeah.

It makes the PPI's CRT come alive, and dynamic, instead of a cartoonish and flat appearance.

Mraah

No. Orange is the color of the PPI when OFF. Green color comes from CRT being ON. Bright green is when gain too high ... dark green background (almost black) with bright green sweep is real color. Above grid in photo, unknown color, but overlay like you said.

I will upload screen shot soon of spider web with low noise (10%), looks good.

Mraah

I agree ... http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/237/okyn8.gif

Thanks.
Very good photo ... http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/492/goodqo0.gif

PPI @ 10% noise

Very, very light noise. Hard to see in screenshot, most visable in sweep bewtween 180-190.

Done for now. More work tomorrow.

v122 Expected release ...

Saturday after 6pm CST ... earliest.

From screen shots posted tonight :

(1) PPI set A -- 1-5 Normal
(2) PPI set B -- 1-5 Noise @ 60% (averaging screenshots)

Noise is tweakable but at least you get the idea.

- @ Donut,
Please, check PM
Thanks :up:



Based on Donut's comments ((post # 217) regarding the overall aspect of the historical PPI, I made another PPI with spiderweb only along with the spider w + range circles version.

Bearings # are slightly larger; berings below horizon (270 - 90) are flipped over
to improve legibility, improved bearing scale.

Layouts below:

Various versions:


- Black Spiderw (standard or dark background)

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../ScreenH03.jpghttp://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../ScreenH04.jpg



- Bluegreen Brg - Spiderw (standard or dark background)


http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../ScreenH05.jpghttp://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../ScreenH06.jpg




- Black Spiderw + Range circles (standard or dark background)

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../ScreenH07.jpghttp://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../ScreenH08.jpg



- Bluegreen Brg, Spiderw + Range circles (standard or dark background)



http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../ScreenH09.jpghttp://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w.../ScreenH10.jpg



PPis look sharper in game with a better depth background due to the dynamic display; there is also a loss of quality on the screen shots due to the .jpg file conversion.

Nota:
-I'll probably modifie the dark versions a bit as it seems a little too black although this may vary from one computer to another due to different display settings.
-Not displayed here, but there is also a blue version.

All files will be sent to Mraah for his last mod version.

Cheers, :cool:

Oh... orange.... is it that colour when switched on.. that would be nice if its historical...

From Mrahh:

Excellent! These two I really, really like!
