Hello Karamasovnew,

thanks for answering ...

1. There are no green numbers at all, at the horizontal center line - and not at the top - only those small edges going up in a "V" form. Huh ?
Or only visible at 1.5x, not 6x ?
Either they are not there, or invisible ? I did not change anything after applying the OMEGU patch 2 .. (left out patch 1, but lurker wrote this would be ok because it's all rolled up with #2 ?)
Hmm, will play around with the alpha channel ..

2. It is clear, that the sub should be at full stop, and the target move along the 000 bearing, for best estimations - even better when the AOB is roughly 090 degrees :-). I understand the vertical center line is a projection.
So, should i let the AOBF inner wheel stand where it was when taking the AOB measuring, to afterwards measure the speed ? Because then the AOB, or length, is taken into account ?

Hmm, i understand the target closes a certain angle, so it is the "angle speed" that is measured - but how can this comply with the real speed in knots ? Without taking the AOB into account ?

" ...Now, If your sub is moving, the projected vertical line moves with your sub. So the only way to take accurate measurements is to point your sub directly before your target and use the 000 bearing as a projected line. As the sub moves forward, the line gets shorter but doesn't move. ..."

Hmmm, yes. But if my sub moves at say 7 knots, and the target at 15 knots, the measurement from when the bow hits the 000 line until the rear end hits it again, takes forever (at distances of appx. 3500 meters). Takes much more than a minute even with a small freighter ...

3. Ok -

Will have to try this out and get some practice - anyway thanks

edit... hmm the green numbers at left, right and middle center are visible only when the AOBF is not switched on, ok - thought they would be visible all the time.
But the two panels right and left really disturb the whole thing, and this automatic unlocking along with the periscope not being movable with AOBF on is a bit "uncomfortable" - have to get used to it.

edit 2 : i guess i do not understand the tutorial. There is that freighttr in the torpedo school mission (the moving one) and with 5 knots and the frighter making some 10+ knots we are approaching so fast i have barely time to adjust anything.The middle wheel does what it wants, and all torpedos fail.
Is there any othe turorial around - i remember the OLCgui video thing - does it also apply to this ?

Greetings,
Catfish
