manual range input

DaveR · 04-18-09, 02:09 PM

i have tried '700 Clickable range dial for US TDC' thru gsme and
'Manual Range & Mast Height Dial Fix for v1.4 & v1.5ickable range dial for US TDC' input' manually changing 'dial.cfg'.

how i understand is one can move outer st-meter ring by click-hold-drag and set mast hieght. then also click-hold-drag inner ring and set range manually. however, i still can't grab that inner ring, it always grabs outer ring.

what am i doing wrong?

edit: never mind, changes did take. manual changes is working.

does anyone know how to calibrate it? or is this meter-english thing. i set 6000 yards and tdc get 5550 (roughly), which is a meterstoyards conversion. i find it odd that the stadi-meter would be in meters!!!

Probably it would work by just turning the image the necessary degrees in the graphic file....will need to give a look at it somewhen, as I use imperial measurements myself

Got it working...
Just click on the inner wheel and rotate it.. It rotates through 360 degrees and resets the range on each lap.
All you do is rotate it until the marker is on the correct range. You can ignore the mast height section if you like, but it is still usable as well

This helps a great deal with long ranges. Even if your range is out by 10% or so, the fine tuning of the torp angle is enough to fire a spread to hit.

Metres.. Yards... Which mission settings are you using... Authentic/Metric.
