As McHub532 pointed out you can set the default status of this at game start in the options file (default is disabled). In game you can change it using the togglable icon. It is located in the top right bar. Expand the top right bar (little toggle button under the clock) and the second to last icon from the left is the icon to toggle lock/break lock on/off.

I think the versions below 3.0.0 have had worked fine. :yeah:
I know 1 time, that I got 0,0 m masthigh, but I entered it fast by hand an ok.:salute:

The version 3.0.x I haven't played intense, due to less time. I changed the menu.txt and tested the popuptexts, thats all. :-?

Paco.

BTW. I fixed some things in german menu.txt, If someone would test them, please pm.

since Paco gave me some great feedback on the mast height problem that some of you are experiencing, it has allowed me to further refine my search for the problem. If you are getting 99.9 for automatic mast height then please use this debugging item. It will dump the name of the ship you're trying to get the mast height for along with all the ships and their mastheights that it knows about to your messagebox or it will dump that it doesn't know which scope station you're at. Once again this is for those users who are getting 99.9 for automatic mast height entry:

Unzip staight to MODS folder and enable via JSGME. Say yes to all errors. This has to be installed AFTER v3.0.7 of the UIs mod.

Once it has done it's dump to the messagebox, it will ask you to save the ship's journal and send it to me. This part is crucial as I need the information it has given to help figure out the problem.

I send you a PM incl. the link with that file.
I hope you can help me.

I fixed your file and sent it back to you. The problem was the ottos chalkboard message - you had two sets of quotes for two lines. Only one set of quotes is needed per line.

Thanks a lot. :salute:
Its works now. :yeah:

TDW, check the other stadimeter thread for pics... Got 99.9 with 3.0.7

I am. Sorry misreport.

Tried now, can confirm fixed. Thank you!

Thanks the explanations, I see that I misunderstud the option. Sorry misreport. I would love 'hide everything and deselect officer' option though. :)

Not a major thing anyway. :)

Thank you for all your patience and hardwork Wraith! WTG!

can you install the debugging file I posted? This way I can see why you're getting the 99.9? You can find it here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=3225

Swamped at work today and won't get a chance to do it until tomorrow. I'll let you know.

In the windows wich is open when I use the stadimeter. I can change manually the data of the mast height. You see what I mean?

(Thank you McHub532! :salute: )

ah, you're talking about the manual entry that you are able to do with the mast height. Reason is 1) some users still have problem with automatic mast height so this gives them a way to enter the mast height and 2) some ships are missing from the rec manual and thus you have to enter their mast heights.
I've put out some debug stuff for users to use to help me determine why some people still have trouble with the automatic mast height working. I'm still waiting on someone to give me feedback from it.

All ok

At game launch, by clicking on the intro video:

Here's the saved journal and I didn't change anything in the option file, didn't even opened it yet.

Also, selecting the mission, the objective map was not draggable. I let the game running in external view for about one hour but didn't get any other message.
