Mike, sometimes it's better to read all posts before write your own.. :03:

yup at zoom lvl 1 and 1.5 it's oky lower zoom lvl will give error but it's damn hard to mesure cos of the boath pich and left right balance but i like it :)

Excellent :rock: Thank you for all the testing you did on this :up:

Now what camera zoom level should I set the Sextant to? What I'm going to try and do is code in the sh5.exe a way to set the zoom level for the sextant without having to modify the cameras.cam file.

no problem was my plesure to test it:up:
x1, x1.5 more not need cos u can't masure the angle

Edit

so i must make some tutorials how to calculate your own position use the Sextan. :hmmm:

any know if they had H.O 229 book in WW II or something like that

In your opinion which zoom level is best to use?

I will make this a variable in my patch file but I want to set the default value to whatever you recommend.

i recomand u to set the default level of the UZO sextant to x1 and x1.5

I think TDW wants to know which one among x1 and x1.5 is best in your opinion :03:

If you just can't decide, I would say x1 because it provides a wider field of view :hmm2:

oops i missread that
x1 is the best ....

@ TDW

I am creating the new sextant mask. I am making it as wide as possible so to keep as many stars as possible within the sight. Should I keep the same width/height ratio as other scope masks, or can I make it custom sized?

TDW, how come my knukle cursor doesn't want to stick on right order?
The cursor always stop 1 box before...though the right speed order works :o
All stop, ahead/back slow is ok...but for all others the cursor stop before reaching right speed.

Note: i'm back with SH5 enhanced UI, but SH3 is the same!

you should be able to make it custom sized. The game should scale it to the player's monitor. Make a test version and try it out (replace the UZO with it)

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Can you post a screenshot?


Just mapped out how zoom level gets set for the current camera. Now to write the code so that I can control the zoom level wanted :D

This is exactly the point: talking about a sight which must have a circular shape, I don't want it to be scaled. Nevermind: I will make it 1024 x 1024

In SH5 enhanced UI, talking about the cursor shifting to 1/2/3/4/5 forward and 1/2/3/4 backward :)
When i order let say 5 forward (flank) the cursor stops to 4...never goes upon 5!
I hear the flank speed order speech though :doh:
When looking to the main room knukle dial (above the guy) it's not reaching the flank speed either :o...but it seems i can go the right flank speed (8 knots)

Don't understand this issue.
With Magui, had rarely the same (needle not reaching the right speed ordered) and deactivating/reactivating mods usually solved it...
But with NewUIs, even doing this procedure is useless so far, in my last install of your UI.
You'll understand it's quite annoying...to never know if the right speed ordered is going on :D

PS: it's not the first time i get it...in previous installs, i got it few times...but right now, seems stuck!

I think FULL reinstall will help you.. you can start from OS.. :D

NO!!! :/\\!!:/\\!!
Can't be...this one is almost fresh :doh: well not that aged :nope:
