In order to make wheels for GWX and stock i've had to make three different wheels. If you use the wrong one, you get the wrong answer.

:hmm: I can't understand that to be honest. The Zielkurswinkelrad (the "no arms" side of the tool) works just like a regular circular slide rule, based on logarithmical calculations. If you skip the "marks" scale and stick to degrees, speeds and distance, it has to work like any other instance of similar slide rule. In the above example the mark scale is not used at all, as it's the proportions that are taken into consideration, not number of marks, so... why it shouldn't work?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm still not accustomed to these tools, using your manual as one of sources of reference (really good job, I think the manual is the best part of your mod + Zielkurswinkelrad in the periscope view).
EDIT: I've been trying to write a comprehensive opinion about your mod for a few days, but still some other things distract me - like playing with your mod that I really enjoy much. But I have a major problem with it and I can't find a solution. Screenshot follows:
The same with "yellow range scale". I've checked the files - yellowrangescale.tga and optischelange.tga are where they should be, files are not corrupted. It can have a connection with my very low spec. PC, and in fact I had similar problems with other files, like bearing overlay. But I don't have them anymore now BUT with these two.
Any ideas?:hmm:
