Hi Les
Updated version replacing previous version in my tutorials.
Peter

:rock: Excellent !!!

Discovered an original view through the Gun Sight of the 8.8cm/45 SK C/35 as fitted to the type VII U Boat, this Gun sight was also used for the 10.5cm/45 SK C/32 fitted to the type IX and type X U Boats.

this sight was able to be illuminated as shown in the right hand picture, so I decided to depict this sight as illuminated as shown below.

Gun Sight in Low Power

Gun Sight in High Power

on the original gun the range was achieved via a range drum fitted to the gun cradle, as there is no way to manually select the range in game the range scale has been incorporated into the sight.

Enjoy

Thanks for this. This is alife saver for my eyes.....

Your Welcome :yeah:

More Magnification?
 

I am going to check this out! "Realism" in moderation is a good thing. Making the player squint through scratched lenses and at ridiculous magnifications is IMHO immoderate :)

As I asked in the main TWOS thread:

Is there an easy way to get better magnification on the optics?

Does this mod include any facility to adjust magnifications higher? If I open up the documents is it something I might be able to tweak on my own? I'm a C++ programmer so dealing with a bit of tech is doable.

Maybe I should find a "getting started modding SH5" how-to and make it myself?

This works great! Magnification doesn't seem to be any different, but it is a lot easier to spot stuff anyway.

Only problem is: I got double binocular vision.

Hi DicheBach, this is due to the Modification of 'TWoS' to use the Original Binocular view, I have made an update to 'Unscratched Optics for Large Optics' that will bring the Binocular view back to the round view used in this mod. this update can be found in the Downloads section as 'Unscratched Optics for Large Optics v1.5'.


Good Hunting
Les

Sweet! I guess I activated the wrong thing in JSGME. Will check that out.

Ah! Nope, looks like I had grabbed the 1.4 version. Easy to fix. THANKS!

ADDIT: Yep! all is well! My skipper no longer feels like he drank a bottle of schnappes when he uses his binoculars :yeah:

Thanks again for this mod; enhances gameplay tremendously!

Hi Les
Your periscope optics pictures look quite clear and clean where as mine with TWoS and your v15 look kind of scratched and dirty.
