Yet another bearing overlay tool

Reece · 02-06-07, 10:59 PM

Hi all, finally after a lot of help from Dertiens private tutoring I sought the tools I would use to aid in manual TDC. I liked Patos' bearing tool but was rather "crowded" with range scales that were not correct, so I removed all the range scales, and inner bearing circle, then made the overall viewed size greater, the result is a tool that I like without the problem of trying to find your own plotting marks!

Many thanks to Danlisa for his guidance with Photo Shop,

also to Pato for the adaption of his bearing tool, I did try to locate him, but couldn't!
I recomend Dertiens "Precise Range Ruler" (PRR Mod) as the ruler has 100 meter marks. See here:

During game play, once knowing the range & bearing, all you have to do is: draw a line to correct Range through the correct bearing - Done!

Readme supplied & JSGME ready.
Cheers.

Note: I must stress that this is an adaption of Patos Bearing Mod.
