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.

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:

Very nice DS!!! I think we have a winning set for v1.22. My designs are going back on the shelf for the time being.

Revised v122 ;
(1) DS PPI set from above, NORMAL

Note : I have decided to add an optional NOISE download set which shall include 6 seperate PPIRadarPS.fx files with NOISE levels that can be manually installed by the skipper on his own ... 30%,40%,50%,60%,70%,80%.

I'm at work now, but I'll be home about 4:30pm CST. Hopefully by 6pm we'll have a release.

Thanks again DarkShip for his wonderfull artwork :up: :up: :up: .

New Additional downloads (JSGME ready);
(1) Mraah Faded Green Background Radar.dds - can be installed after v1.22
(2) Noise Mod Idea - alternate PPIRadarPS.fx that adds 30-80% noise to PPI only.

New Link to Anvarts RADARSWEEP.7z for SHController.act (text RANGE removed).

Getting Closer to v122 .... Yet another update.

I've asked DarkShip to design a v122 of Redwines PPI to complete the set.

In the meantime, I'm organizing etc.

Here's another screenie :

DarkShip BlueGreen Spiderweb + Range/Scale + Mraah Faded Background
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s..._MRDS_fade.jpg

Note : Post Processor ON (default grainy) / Noise mod OFF
Note : Mraah Radar.dds Fade mod also contains another variant of Anvarts PPIRadarPS.fx ... ie, sweep and grid tweak without the noise.
Note : Range selected doesn't match scale overlay. Ignore the range.

Check this thread ITS BRILLIANT!!!!
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=116122
@LukeFF i saw you posted in that thread allready... But for any other "rivet counter" check that thread!!!

DarkShip 06-10-07 07:07 AM

LukeFF,

Unfortunatly, there is no special file for the shut off radar display in SH4.
Modifying the background colour file (radar.dds) would mainly affect PPI and A-scope active display.
Believe me, a bright green sweep over an orange background is rather... frightening! :o

Actually, i did this one based on Gino's pic as a signature-like joke :)

I send response to you...

You do not need to ask for permision... :up::up::up:

DarkShip 06-10-07 12:57 PM

@ Redwine,

Thank you, mate :up:

I made 2 variants of your file: One with a modified backgroud transparency the other has thinner bearing lines and range circles.

By any chance, do you remember which font you used for the bearing #?
It would help me to do a special layer allowing bearing # colour variation.

Both files are ready to dl for Mraah so he may chose the one he likes best.

Cheers,

DS
