12x Power in Magui Mod

[SquidB]

Just a couple of questions.

The attack scope in the magui mod is capable of 12x magnification. Ive searched for sources but all i can find is reference to the attack scopes on the real boats being capable of 6x max magnification.

So why the 12x? Is there a way to convert the mod back to 6x max?

You can edit that in data\library\cameras.dat using s3d - can't speak as to why Markman made it that way.

ok , dont really have a clue how to do that lol, but are there any other OLC type mods compatible with the widescreen mod?

For the same reason GWX makes it x10 - no game is capable of the perfect resolution found in real life. This was the only way they could make the flags recognizable from a realistic distance.

The observation periscope in stock - x1 and x4 - is also wrong. They were all x1.5 and x6.

Thanks for the clarification Sailor Steve.

So what your saying is its a work around to provide you with a realistic veiw given the limitaions of our PC displays?

If so ill buy it

[Sailor Steve]

Exactly. That said, I use x6 because I just feel better about it, but then I do have external view enabled if I really have to peek.

Hmmm i can see the arguments both for and against, but it would be nice to be able to get rid of the 12x uberscope

x12 is not historically correct but i am just sharing the mods i make with you and in my game i needed (for many reasons but the most serious is allready be written at this thread by subsimers ) one more powerfull zoom . anyway, getting rid of it is very easy (look at MaGui's thread ) and make them historically correct

bye
