To get a range of 40k you'd set the range sector to 80k, then zoom the sweep in to match the range scale. SH4 didn't give us a sweep selector, so, I think we really have to make do.
Besides, I'll buy any skipper a case of beer if they show me a radar contact beyond 40k with a 80k setting.  |
LOL, it's alright. I love electronics and all that, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to radar technology. I guess that's why they made me a medic, lol (4 years active duty, currently in the National Guard). I'll trust that you know what you're talking about.
Thinking about it more, I imagine the SK radar display was probably a standard display shared by other other WWII-era PPI units. PPI didn't come out until 1943, anyways, and I doubt the screen would've changed much between then and mid-1945. How about we just go with your SK design you posted below, except change the way the bearing numbers are rendered (they should be angled in a circular pattern, instead of the way they are now).
Alright, I'll leave it at that. I've been up wayyyyy longer than I should be, and I gotta be at work in a few hours.
I'll check this thread again Saturday afternoon. Thanks again!
