FFG interface
Hello all,
Just another dumba.. newbie question :lol: My all time favourite unit in DW is the FFG, but being European it's a pain in the b.. that all ranges, depths etc. are shown in yards and feet. Would it be possible to make the FFG interfaces show this info in metres instead? |
Not really possable. Sorry.
Just remember that 2,000 yards is one Nm. and 100 feet is ~30 meters. :know: |
@TLAM
:hmm: Okay.....thanks mate |
Open the file controllers.ini in the main DW folder with any text editor (Windows notepad just works fine) and scroll down until you see this:
[Interface] "FFG" 12 [BitmapName] "FFG_US.jpg" [DLL] "Bridge.DLL" "X000Y000.bmp" 569 408 ;/// soundEngineHum sndtype (none = 0, full=1, full no os =2, muted=3, muted no ownship=4) truthmode [DLLSOUND] 1 0 0 [DLL] "AcousticDisp.DLL" "X035Y000.bmp" 570 409 [DLL] "ASTAC.DLL" "X000Y035.bmp" 571 410 [DLL] "Active.DLL" "x035y035.bmp" 572 411 [Nav] "X000Y175.bmp" 416 [DLL] "TowedArray.DLL" "x035y070.bmp" 573 413 [DLL] "EW.DLL" "X000Y070.bmp" 574 412 [DLL] "Radar.DLL" "X035Y105.bmp" 575 415 [DLL] "TMA.DLL" "X000Y105.bmp" 576 414 [DLL] "WeaponsControl.DLL" "x035y140.bmp" 577 417 [DLL] "FloatingCamera.dll" "NOLINK" [DLLPOPUP] 1 0 0 285 230 [DLL] "TorpedoControl.DLL" "x000y140.bmp" 578 418 [DLL] "MachineGun.DLL" "x035y175.bmp" 579 419 ;/// soundEngineHum sndtype (none = 0, full=1, full no os =2, muted=3, muted no ownship=4) truthmode [DLLSOUND] 1 2 1 [TEXTDLL] "Text" [RECO] "VoiceReco.DLL" [Color] "255,140,0" [Color] "25,30,50" [Color] "40,50,75" [Color] "0,255,0" [Color] "145,75,0" [Color] "115,105,105" [Color] "255,140,0" [Color] "255,140,0" [Color] "0,255,0" [Color] "80,80,80" [Color] "255,255,220" [Color] "0,0,0" [Units] "0" [MenuImage] "FFG7_menu.bmp" [MenuPos] "-9.3,0.3,-99.0" [END] The text I have highlighted in red tells the game wether to use imperial or metric units. Change it to "1" instead of "0" and you should have now metric units in all displays. :up: BTW you can do this with any playable unit, just look for the relevant line in the block dedicated to that unit and change it to "1". |
@Hitman
Heheeeeyyyy! :up: Thanks mate you just made my day :up: |
Sure a dumb situation...but when I try to open controllers.ini with windows notepad I get a message like "invalid file name" :damn:
Any ideas ?? Thanks |
Cheers werewolf :up:
@Captainpiluso: Right click and check that the file isn't set to "read only" [dale click con el botón derecho a propiedades y mira que no esté marcada la casilla "solo lectura"] |

no esta tildado "solo lectura" ni tampoco "oculto" |
Mmmm I really have no idea what it can be then :hmm:
Try to open with wordpad, word or other text editors. Even Internet explorer might help :-? But the file is so easy to open that I must think something is wrong on your system, otherwise I can't explain it :damn: |
