note : for installation : ONLY the core files of TDW's gui v6.3.0 and on top of it the mini mod that i upload. resolution...1280x960
although it is good your 'aproach' to try to adjust your scales by setting a ship(that you know its deadly length and mast values) to a given distance and rely only on your tool (aobf tool) ,...i wouldn't suggest you to go that way.becuase,firstly,at sh5, you can't have a deadly measurment of the true distance (you say 1000m but is it exactly 1000m ? you can't say....).secondly,the tool itself is not deadly accurate so the best way is to adjust the scales as i told you.
how ? pay a close look to the pic i posted...you see how i did it ? create a fully transparent image for the ''Periscope_Mask_1024_SH5''.this will allow you to see the sh5's hardcore scales .at minimum zoom level these scales are showing you the degrees . these scales is the most important part becuase they are changing as you are changing the angular angles in cameras(logical).this mean that for each camera setting, you have to create its own specific scales for the tool .in other words ...cameras and scales for the tool goes together !now , create the fully transparent ''Periscope_Mask_1024_SH5'' and once you have decide the camera settings(angular angles,viewports and zoom levels) enter the game in order to be able to see the sh5's hardcore degree scales .the only thing that remains to do is to create your own scale for the tool that way so your '10' to match with 5,71 degrees and you are just finished the job !

Thanks again for you advice Makman
I have had to go back to work

- so have less time to spend on this than I would like.
This evening I will set my screen size and run your files to check the 10 v 5.71 then repeat your steps for my size of 8:5 I hope to make good progress this weekend.
@TDW
With this new info we are getting I will continue to try and make the most presice scales that I can. I will send each set to you as they are tested.
With each screen size requiring its own scales - I will work on one scope at a time. (Could take a wee while to get through them all).
@toniloCoyote
I am hopeful that the scales in the last pics I posted will match up with the 5.71 Makman advices. I will post a 45deg once I am sure.
