MQK converter

Archive1 · 01-21-11, 06:49 PM

Would like to use the MQK converter with GWX to convert grid notation to lat/long but there is no installation info with the MQK download. Does it drop into the SH3 main file (where /data, /MODS, /SH3 exec files etc reside) or go somewhere else via JSGME?

It has nothing to do with SH3 at all. It goes on your desktop, where you just type in what you want.

Ah, I guess that means it is not available while in a patrol model. And, therefore, not very useful.
Thanks. Will delete.

Alt+Tab will minimize the game so you can run the converter. Also the Windows key does the same.

Thanks. I forgot about Alt+Tab. I'll give it a try.

How exatly do you get the needed quadrant using a coordinates ?

I always get: Grid not in database message

That's the way it's done.
I Alt-Tab' to write my Log in Words and used the Converter to get the lat/long numbers.
Then Alt-Tab back to keep sailing. Cool thing is, that SH3 keeps running in the Background.

And what do you do with those lat/long numbers ?

The sad part for me this tool doesn't do coordinates to KM grids.

If it could do that, I would of had more fun plotting course as real Captains did here: http://www.uboat.net/boats/patrols/d...ate=1942-08-10
