Thats OK Makman, you did a good work !

But what you should know, is, that watches with that coloured clockface were designed and used by surfaced ships who throw depthcharges. It was not designed for and never used in subs. It is not accurate, as far as history is concerned. But everyone who likes it better should use it.

@Nissum : get what you requested from my filefront page

hello Friedl9te,

thats ok too Friedl9te,i am not maniac with history (...my scopes have an x15 zoom level) ,its all about the gameplay.about the chrono ,some people (not me) are using...maybe....the colored lines to get the speed...and also i am fan to have more than one choices to get speed or range....etc
if you have allready layered down your chrono on my periscope image....please feel free to release it ! i am sure that there must be people that will like more this chrono :up:

bye

Downloaded it and put it in, works great. Thanks a bunch Makman. As soon as I am one of the elite kapitan leutnants at the manual targeting i will take it out again.:yeah:

The attack disc
 

Ohoy Makman

I am reading your manual about the attack disc and testing it in the game on a second monitor at the same time. The attack disc in the game and the one in the manual doesn´t lool alike, there seem to be missing a rotor in the game that is in the manual (Rotor E). Is there some kind of update to the disc that I haven´t got?l

Example 2: Determine a target’s angle on the bow knowing bearing and course

In point no. 2 you write " Turn the B disc until your true course (the 115° mark) is aligned with the 180° triangle mark on the A disc. " but i can´t seem to turn the B disc. No matter what I do it is only the D rotor that turns. What am I doing wrong. Sorry if I am being a total noob.:wah:

Don't worry Nissum,
you haven't 'miss' any version of attack disc.there are some (minor) differences between the disc of Olc gui and the disc in the pics of manual but it is better to be the way that you see in-game.

the middle ring (compass) is indented to be stable and is better to be that way showing always up the North.

now ,you don't have to turn the compass to match our course at 180 of bearing.the bearing ring (outer ring) is moving automatically as we changing our course.i represent the example 2 in the following pic. setted the sub's course to 115 .when sub finally is moving to 115 you will notice that the outer ring had automatically moved to show 115 at the compass of attack disc (see marks ''1'')
so ,you skip the step of the manual that telling you to turn the compass

next,you set the target's course (we know it for the example 2)
turn the inner ring to show you 150 at the compass of attack disc
another reason that is better the way this disc does things is exactly this: the course of target as represented on the attack disc is exactly how it will look if you have drawen target's course on navmap(at navmap always North is up,too)
(see mark ''2'' for all these)

next you place the bearing ,the example is telling us that the target is at bearing 65 port,which means that the bearing is 360-65=295.now grap the edge of the bearing pointer (the one with the black arrow pointing to the outer ring)and place the arrow to show the 295 on bearing ring
(see mark ''3'')
read the AOB (look at the pic where the aob is showing)

about the vorhalt 'missing': this part of attack disc was used to get the gyroangle.it is not included for two reasons.first ,the attack disc was too 'heavy' with all these divices and was confusing me,
and second (and more important) is that using the discs to find the gyro is not very simple procedure.it is better to do this on your navmap once you have determine the target's course

ps:the tools needs a lot of studing Nissum,don't expect to 'get' them with one glance.the capabilities of these tools are ...'infinite'. ''studing'' is .....your friend here
bye

Stopwatch for MaGui
 

a stopwatch (without the colored speed's circles) for Friedl9te (and for the rest that maybe like it) can be found at my ff page.

enjoy it

Just downloaded this looks awesome well done :salute:

Beautiful, thank you !

Makman,

I just finished doing the hi-res image of the chrono for the update of my own GUI, but if you are interested on it for another version, just PM me and I will send you the hi-res file with it. It has a red scale for 100 metres on the outside, but it can be eliminated easily. :up:

Well done !!!

sure Hitman ! send it over to give it a try,looking very good ! :up:

thank you

Video tutorials
 

Hey all,

I couldn't find any other threads that addressed this so...

I downloaded the Makman tutorial along with the GUI, but there's no audio to go along with the video. I've tried WMP, MP Classic, Winamp and everything else on my system to make it work. All of my other videos, including WMVs, play fine on all of the above. Am I misisng something... a non-standard filter or something to play these videos with sound?

Thanks.

hello Jdkbph,

look here:Video Tutorials

no,you are not 'missing' anything...in fact it is me that i am 'missing' something . although i did with FRAPS everything as suggested the videos doesn't have sound (or...they have ,but don't know if there is a way to hear sound)
as you can see at the above thread ,i was asking for advices but....nobody respond !
anyway,it will be nice if anyone ever post a step by step tutorial on how to make videos ( it must be,immediatelly, sticked too )

bye

Thanks for the reply Makman. No worries... I'll keep working my way through then. The effort is much appreciated!

BTW, I don't know much about recording demos and tutorials with Fraps, but I do know Camtasia works like a charm.

Thanks again.

JD

There are quite a few who make the videos with sound;
Check the SH4 forum and perhaps PM the authors of the videos. Gutted and Rockin Robbins are two who recently released videos with sound

yes Irish1958 i know, i am just saying these people ( or everyone else that knows) to post a tutorial (...detailed ! ) on how to make a video (not only for me....but for everyone who wants to make a video at the future)

Hi!

Is Manos Gui compatible with WAC41?

Thank you

hello Einsman,

yes it is compatible. in fact it is compatible with every version of sh3 (stock,nygm,lsh....).maybe one odd thing will be noticed with the recmanual (if the version of sh3 is using the 'lighter' .sils) but this is not big deal

Hi makman94!

It's a good news for me. After using OLC GUI needed a similar tool.

Regards.

Sorry. With the excitement I forgot to say: Great work! :D
