We have corrected the problem with the Radar Bearing dial. The temporary RFB 1.5 060508 download site can be found
here which includes the following fixs:
1. A fix for the depth charge capacity and availability of several of the escort ships (DC Patch 052808).
2. A reworked Radar Bearing dial for manually focusing the beam.
3. Changed the graphics for the main Deck Gun and smaller armaments ammunition, to better show what your using. Both the American and German sides were modified.
4. Added two Word documents. One is a revised instruction for the SCAF mod that is used within RFB 1.5 for finding manual range with the Stadimeter. The second is a corrected RFB Keyboard Command list.
5. Added the optional JSGME compatible Metric Nomographs for both American and German sides.
No other previous patches dated prior to 060308 need to be added. This version is cumulative of all other fix's.
=======================
For those that may not know, there is a Bearing Dial at the Radar Station for pointing the fucus beam in a particular direction. This dial was only partially seen with the stock game view, and was quite useless without being fully seen. With RFB, the bearing dial can be easily seen just above the A-Scope (PPI Radar screen). Although the dial can not be manipulated as the Sonar Bearing dial by using a mouse click, the Radar Bearing Dial
can be manually moved with the Home/End keys.
As the image below shows the outer stationary bearing ring is the subs "relative bearing", as it relates to the sub itself. The 0 bearing is straight foward of the sub, 27 (270 degrees) is Port (left), 9 (90 degrees) is right or Starboard.
The inner moving dial is the "true" bearing to north of the subs heading. You will note the upper top most degree bearing of the inner dial is the same as the compass dial. The arrows between the two dials can be moved with the Home/End keys when the radar switch is set to manual "Focus", not "Sweep". This will give you the ability to keep either the Surface (SJ) or Air (SD) radars pointing towards a particular direction.
