[REL]Locked, zoomed, and centered PPI scope

How do you change those values? What file do I need to open up with S3D? What node?

Start Silent 3ditor and go to Silent Hunter 4/data/Interior

There are folders for Gato, Porpoise, Salmon and S class

You need to tweak inside those folders the files:

NSS_Gato_CT.sim

NSS_Porpoise_CT.sim

NSS_Salmon_CT.sim

The values you need to tweak are the following:

--->102 Radarview
-------->103 Radarview
------------->Rangedim--->Ranges--->0--->Step=1000 change to 914
------------->Rangedim--->Ranges--->1--->Step=2500 change to 2286
------------->Rangedim--->Ranges--->2--->Step=10000 change to 9144

Wow, the max range of the radar is 80,000 meters?! I thought their range was limited to 40,000 yards (36,576m).

That's just the range the display will show. Obviously, if the sensor (Defined elsewhere) doesn't have such a long range capability, the screen simply won't display any contact at all.

In any case, according to my tests the game in stock trim will not show radar contacts beyond 35.000 metres or so. Therefore, the radar is probably limited to 40000 metres, or may be the game simply won't spawn other units beyond that range (A matter of engine design).

So the PPI ranges are 8000/20000/80000 meters, correct? Why does the range selector values on the bottom of the unit show 3000, 20,000, and 60,000?

Edit: If I want 8,000, 20,000, and 80,000 yards for the PPI I should enter 7315/18288/73152 respectively?
