Hello again, blueduck!


I managet to do it again, i.e. transfer from Stralsund to Wilhelmshaven using the very same means I told you in my previous post. However, while making more test runs in Jadebucht, I think I located a funny mistake in Angriffscheibe's build up. Angriffscheibe seems to show right (or at least acpetable) submarine's own course only if the sub is heading to the North, South, West, or East. BUT if you take any other course than those mentioned, Angriffscheibe seems to be turning into wrong direction. Even if it's easier to test and see, I try to explain (can't send a screenshot).

1. Assume you are running on straight course 090T. Angriffscheibe show your course and countercourse 090T/270T.
2. Turn slow to the right on course 135T, and you'll see how Angriffscheibe turns also to the right. However, because of how the Angriffscheibe is build up, it'll end up to show course 225T/045T. Why the Angriffscheibe show right courses if you are running to the North, South, West, or East, is also easy to understand by testing. Reason is in it's build up.
3. If you turn more to the right, to the course 180T, the Angriffschebe will again turn with you, but to the wrong direction 225T... 224T... 223T, until it again end up to show "right" course and counter course 000T/180T. And if you turn now 1 degree to the right, to the course 181T, the Angriffscheibe will show 359T/179T. And at 45 degrees angles (045T, 135T, 225T, and 315T) Angriffscheibe is always 90 degrees off.

Conclusion:

In the Angriffscheibe either a) a wrong plate (B-plate, counting plates from outside to the inside direction) is turning, or b) B-plate is turning to the wrong direction. I think I have seen some Angriffscheibe were the A-plate (the utermost one) was the turning plate (+ of course rotators used by the player.)

I don't believe this is caused by the wrong or inproper installation of the mod, because the problem is too logic. So I'm quite positive there is something wrong in the original build up. However, now the Angriffscheibe is pretty much useless if you are running in any other courses than those four i mentioned, while making observations and calculations.


Greetings,
