Running a 34" monitor with this mod.

Beautiful!!! and useful

The hash marks on both the scopes are set "close enough" for 1.5x an 6.0 zoom.

I am getting visual range calculations that are close enough.

Example: let us say I declare that a ship's stack is 15m above water.

let us say it shows as 20 milirads or whatever you call it on the scope.

1.5 zoom 15 divided by 2 is 750 meters away....

When viewing as 6x power, x4 for 6 x power about 3000 meters away for 20 milirads.

Again, not perfect but good enough for plots. Very impressive.
Yeah, that mod is nice. I have to hdmi the game onto my big flatscreen tv when I use it though; can't read the various number displays otherwise.

But that's because of my old eyes <g>
