nm/km to yd/m
What mod do you use to change nm/km to yards/meters while using the compass/ruler??
|
just use math. 2,000 yards per nautical mile, and 1,000m per kilometer.

or you can d/l an app for your phone and use that as a job aid. for example, i use Units Plus Lite. It's free and it has a Length function which will allow a user any number of unit conversions. just for the record, i have no association with that app. :D good luck, herr kaleun. |
I know what the math calculation is for the conversion. I convert it all the time.
I have just seen some videos where the compass and rulers have the yards and meters already converted. It makes your calculations a little more precise. Just wanted to know if anyone knew what the Mod is they are using. |

when you are in-port, between missions, go to the GamePlay Settings which have an Option for Measurement Units. you can select whatever units you want the game to use for compass, ruler, etc. you can select any option even if it is counter-intuitive. by that i mean, you can select Metric and play the US Pacific campaigns or vice versa, if you are playing Dark Waters. does this help? |

There is a mod for SH3, where the fellow took the 500 yard display of the Line Tool on the NavMap, and has it able to display 100 yard increments, dependent upon the zoom level. I'm not certain that has been converted to SH4 or not, but realistically, there is minimal need for such precision. You could try using an external search engine, such as duckduckgo, and use "site:subsim.com/radioroom measurement" or maybe " NavMap" or both, or whatever, and that might find what you're looking for in that regard. converting it to SH4 would be a matter of using a different location in the menu_1024_768.ini file (and yes, I did dip the hissop in the bucket and smeared it on the door posts, as well as throwing a pinch of salt over the left shoulder after invoking that file name)... :roll: - or just wait for someone else to come by that remembers the mod.

soit 1 Km 828 et non mille metres... 2000 km = 1242,742 mille soit 1 km 500 2000 mille marin = 3704 km soit 3704000 metre the mathematical unit = millimeter.. metric.. kilometer.. etc.. is more precise in many applications I have found that even for artillery some prefer it.. but hey... yours never falls right mathematically !!! too boring the calculations some believe that the "meters" is better .. who knows who is wrong who is right? :salute: |
I figured it out.
The scale changes with the addon U-boat missions. With the standard game it measures in 1/10th of a mni/km per graduation. With the U-Boat addon it changes the scale under 10 nmi/km to yards/meters. The 1/10th graduation is really kind of imprecise. On the nmi scale, that's 200 yards per graduation. That's equal to almost twice the length of an average transport during WW2. |
