As the title says i am starting today this thread in order ALL masts and lengths of ships to be adjusted

you will find at my ff page a file that is called 'ships 1-gwx3' . it containes my adjustments at masts and lengths values for fifteen ships of gwx3.
these are the first ships that i had checked.
this thread will be often updated with adjustments to the other ships and always the updated files will have names as 'ships2-gwx3','ships3-gwx3'...etc
eventually some day i hope this project to be finished

i had simplify the method for the adjustments for several reasons.on paper the value for mast seems fine but always it needs a fining in game(game's rules) so ,as the test must be done without doupt,i chosen to do the adjustment directly in-game

the procedure for the MASTS adjustments is:
first write down the mast value of the ship that we are going to adjust.(lets call this value 'fake mast')
take a range measurment with stadimeter(only with stadimeter) (be very careful with the waterline and the spot of the ship that you are aiming-aim whatever spot you like but choose the more visible and higher together) and write down this range (lets call this range 'fake range')
immediatelly after you took this measurment go to navmap and pause the game.
measure the 'real range' (use only maloy's ruler mod for this measure at 0-500m scale of navmap-can be found at my ff page)(also be careful to measure the range to the spot of the ship that you aimed with stadimeter)
now we are ready to find the 'real mast'

'real mast'=('real range'x'fake mast')/'fake range'

it is very often to need fining this value becuase the stadimeter is moving pixel by pixel and sometimes one pixel only is enough to do the harm at mast value.so test the new value and with the same procedure we can come to the final mast value

IMPORTANT: THESE VALUES ARE CORRECT ONLY IF YOU USE THE ''GWX_ships_Buoyance&draught_mod'' by RUBINI
the reason is that this mod is effecting the height of ships.(but it is a 'must have' mod)
waterstream mod,lifeboats and exhaust mods are ok to be used.
i don't know for other mods becuase i am not using them

i have include in 'ships 1-gwx3' the mission with the adjusted ships in order to test the new values
both are jsgme ready

ps: i want to thank NGT for his help till today

thank you
