Hi makman94,

thanks for the great work

Please anyone correct me if I am wrong, but I guess, Rubini's mod only changes the draft of the ships, thus putting them deeper into the water and reducing the height of the mast.

In this case, my guess is that the difference in the true mast height between Rubini's mod and the TRUE original GWX height is not more than approx. 1m. I guess in this case it is more important to know exactly where the height is measured (what is nicely shown in the present mod )
Since most ships have a mast height of more than 20m, a difference of 1 m is less than 5%. I guess this is inside the error margin of measuring anyway.

So, I think this mod is very useful also for GWX users who do not use Rubini's mod. Also, GWX users can just measure the height a little bit below the marked point and it should be fine (determining the target course is unaffected by this anyway because it is just a constant offset).

An interesting question is how the draft is changed in Rubini's mod and whether the cfg files show the right value

Thanks again, makman95!

Cheers, LGN1
