Are you using any mods? With my clearly limited capabilities, I can only get an approximation of where the emitters are but not accurate enough for me to get an accurate plot/track.

Ya gots any tricks o the trade you can share to would help me plot these emitters better?

plleeeaaasssseeeee :p

Paranoid attitude that any analytic discussion has to be an affront/attack on the GWX Team:

You are right. I have been polite and respectful. Perhaps even to the extreme having seen past reactions by the GWX Team. But then in fairness, there are those who have attacked your work and failed to respect the great deal of effort which went into it. However, by now we all know each other well enough to know that I am not one of those people and your comments are entirely uncalled for. Of course, you do need to step in and stand up for your Team members, because that is what a project manager does. Unfortunately, in this case, you have jumped in where no one has given one of your Team members a shove.

Besides being in systems and all that, I've published guides and been the public eye of PC video games before there was an Internet. One has to learn not to get so bent out of shape by the few bad experiences that one snaps at anyone who might appear that they have something to say about your work as has happened here.

As has been said already, GWX is a fine and reaching piece of work. However, it is so, because of what it is, and not because it is aggressively defended or promoted by you in this forum. It wouldn't hurt the reputation of GWX or the Team to learn to park their egos at the door and let the work speak for itself instead of picking a fight with someone easily smacked down, since he never met you anyone any offense. Well done!
