Default

Attack Disk has been added to all scopes (Attack, Obs, and UZO) and has been added to NavMap. Here is the new button for the scopes to control the Attack Disk visibility (located right below the RAOBF button):


I fixed the button for the scopes in the NavMap and also added another button for controlling the Attack Disk visibility. In the screenshot below I have not updated the button for the Attack Disk with the correct image, it's a clone of the NavMap features button.
There are 4 rotating portions of the attack disk. Two of them are draggable by mouse or by TDC dial (Target Disc and Bearing and Lead Angle). Target disc is linked to the AOB TDC dial. Bearing and Lead angle is linked to the Bearing TDC dial. The other two rotating portions are the Compass Rose and the Attack Course Pointer. The Compass rose is tied to your current heading and will auto update on course changes. The Attack course pointer is rotated using the same keys for the heading bar (default is Q & E keys with shift making it rotate faster). The Relative bearing is fixed with 180 up.
The text draggable areas in the screenshot below denotes the areas where you can grab with the mouse and drag the attack disk whereever you want it. It's position will be saved at game end and restored at your next game start.
TDC has to be on to be able to use the attack disc (XO Turn TDC on). In order to set the rotating portions you have to have TDC manual update enabled (the button for manual enable in the TDC).


Just a little more work to do and version 4.3.0 will be ready. Here are the additional changes to v4.3.0 as of now:

v4.3.0 - added sound to the torp door switches. When they change position a sound will be played (sound is \data\Sound\periscope_rotary_Up.wav)
- fixed some messagebox errors (some messages weren't being displayed in the messagebox - i.e. Tube x ready!)
- adjusted Uboat hydrophones rpm detection level from 0.25 to 0.075 (sonarman will be able to pick up contacts that are at slower speed)
- added my version of free cam tweak. Free cam max camera elevation raised to 1500m, zoom levels added (1,2,4,8,16, and 32x), clip distance set to 0.01m, and terrain collider distance set to 0m
