Ok I've been doing some experimenting and I'm glad to say its paid off
.
I started by redoing the frontend for the UI in the Top Right corner, getting rid of the icons I didn't need. And redoing the Send Range to TDC button for the stadimeter fix.
The Icon for the stadimeter is no longer visible on the Frontend of the UI.
Now it only appears when entering a scope screen, It still is yellow to show it can be activated.
Also when activated it turns to green to indicate its ready to send to TDC.
Now though when you click it at this stage it blinks to indicate that it has updated the TDC.
Not much different to before, but here's where the experimenting comes in.
I have a new button above the Range button :-
Say Hello to the new
STADIMETER button. It took some messing to get it working on-screen but it works perfectly
.
This now means that Range finding has become a lot easier.
Heck even the XO Dialog and Recognition Manual are no longer required
Here's all thats required now for operation.
New Frontend (Just Naigation Map and Officer Orders)
Opon entering the Periscope the New buttons become Visible.
OK lets get started.
1. Click the
Range Button (Turns from Yellow to Green)
2
Lock the Target
3. Open the officer orders. Select the
Identify Target command
Entering Periscope (Note New Stadimeter button)
4. Click the
Stadimeter Button - Now move Ghost image down to top of mast
Stadimeter Button Clicked
5. Now finally Click the
Range 'Send to TDC Button' (Green Icon starts Blinking)
Range Dial Moves to correct range. (In this example Dial jumped to over 1000M,
Correct Target was actually at 1070M)
Range sent to TDC
Look forward to this in the next release.
@Hans Hansen. This may sovle your cluttered Interface problem, as the Recognition Manual is no longer required for Targeting use.
You can leave the Rec Man offscreen and have the TAI open in its place.
