Men, I should tell you that I've been working on the revised SCAF mod for TMO 1.5.2 and I'm 95% done. I've been checking the ship mast heights on the newest ships and have the pictures updated. I will probably have a completed edition soon after a couple more tests. Sometimes the uploading of the mod with the proper links to the thing take as much time as the testing itself. I've got some RL things to do as well so I should have the revision ready very soon.

I know there are a lot of you that use RSRD with TMO, so I do plan on updating it as well, but for now the TMO edition will have to work for you.

Yes and no, you could hand type each ships "Mast Height" into the particular ships config file but the height you use has to be calibrated to the particular point of reference you choose (funnel, mast top, flag). Then you would have to mark this location within the Rec Manual so you remember to use that point when making a range finding. To do just the stock ships for both American and German sides there's over 100. When you add additional ships like TMO's, and then even more with RSRD's, you've got your work cut out for you. Can you do it? Heck yes!! If I can, so can a monkey. But, this monkey's peddling as fast as he can so you won't have to, so hang in there the banana is about to be grabbed. :rotfl:
