Default Ekko/Wazoo's pdf file

Hi guys. I'm trying to download Ekko's pdf file from Wazoo's tutorial, but the link is broken. Does any of you have it ? Thx.

I was able to generate a PDF from the web page. Install PDF Creator, and it sets up a printer, and you can print anything to PDF (for free, don't need Acrobat). It's not a nicely bookmarked file, so why not just save the whoe web page itself as a web archive?? Then you don't have to muck around with PDFCreator (although it might be nice for other reasons).

PDFCreator:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

I noticed that on my machine, I need to have PDF creator running before I can print to it, otherwise it hangs in limbo.

I think you misunderstood me. The link to the pattern is dead on the site. It seems like he has deleted it. I want to make that aob wheel.

I think you are right. Where is this wheel?

I printed out one of the picture he gave for example and cut out the first circle. It worked great. Four hits.

Oh are you referring to the whiz wheel Wazoo shows on his tutorial for finding the angle-on-bow?

I don't have the plans for that wheel but I do have a Shockwave version of it (forgot who the author is) uploaded on my webspace (http://spidermine.com/SHIII/wheel.swf) You can right click and save it to your hard drive for future use.

Also, if you're really interested in making your own whiz wheel that real skippers used, check out the following threads:

Dude,

i can strongly recommend you skip that particular whiz wheel and go straight to the real deal whiz wheels. They are MUCH MUCH more versatile

The threads:

The Kriegsmarine whiz wheel thread:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ght=whiz+wheel

The US Subarine attack course finder thread: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ighlight=iswas

Here is the manual that describes how to use the american one, but the german one is much the same

http://hnsa.org/doc/attackfinder/index.htm

and here both whiz wheels can be downloaded from Hitman's filefront account (hope you don't mind Hitman!)

http://hosted.filefront.com/HitmanPacificAc

I've also written a little guide for hunting using the whiz wheels on my filefront account too.
