Stadimeter Solution by Reaper7

I have found the Solution to the Stadimeter.
You say "But TDW has done it already".

Yes but I fixed it with no complex scripting or no external progamming at all. All done with just the Stock UI.

Can be added to any SH5 easily.

The solution struck me at work Today, and I thought no that can't work its to simple and to obvious.
But guess what it works and perfectly.

The Solution is hidden away in SH5 like most things, they never got rid of most of the SH3/4 UI.
And that includes the SH4 Targetting TDC Interface. With Range, Speed etc.
Including its stadimeter - thats the one thats being referenced in the Dials.cfg from SH4 and still in SH5.

Code:

[Dial58]
; will be changed by code 
Name=TorpedoSolution_Mast_Height
Type=70; DIAL_TGT_MAST_HEIGHT_INTERNATIONAL
Cmd=Set_tgt_mast_height_international;
Dial=0x431A0002
CrtVal=0x431A0001
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=-90,98
RealVal=15,130; height 
Circular=Yes
CmdOnDrag=Yes
Logarithmic=7.189;4.656
RelativeDrag=Yes
SndStep=5
SndList=1,Menu.TDC.AngleOnBow,360
 
[Dial59]
; will be changed by code 
Name=TorpedoSolution_Temporary_Range
Type=68; DIAL_TGT_RANGE
;Cmd=Set_tgt_sel_value;
Dial=0x431A0001
CrtVal=0x431A0003
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=10,0
RealVal=11000,220; range 
Circular=Yes
;CmdOnDrag=Yes
Logarithmic=-0.98;51.0
;RelativeDrag=Yes
;SndStep=5

And here is my Test - Puleed the SH4 Targeting TDC into my Attack Scope via script.

So all thats needed is a button to be placed on screen to activate the stadimeter:

Is to Replacce the value in the Dials.cfg
CrtVal=0x431A0001 ; ID of stadimeter button.
with the value of your Button.

The Send Range Button to TDC ID is:
CrtVal=0x431A0005

Will do some further tests to see if I can replace the SH4 TDC with a single button via script. I think this should be easy enough

.

You may notice is the last pic the range is 1080m in the Sh4 TDC and 4623m in the XO manual thats because the XO manual is getting the broken SH5 value (Mast height is always 20M).
To fix that all that should be required is to change the following

Type=68; DIAL_TGT_RANGE
;Cmd=Set_tgt_sel_value;
Dial=0x431A0001
CrtVal=0x431A0003

to match the Dial ID on the SH5 Range Dial.
