I was wondering. Can you raise that line and flip the red scale downwards? The line on the mast-end and the scalemark on the waterline would seem to work easier. But a caveat here: I haven't used such a scale before in earnest.

i a not sure that i understand exactly what you mean Pisces,but the scale can be put ANYWHERE you want (and the same goes for horizontal line too---i did it this way becuase we all are used to work with the horizontal line)
but remember:when you want to use the scale (and you had put it somewhere else ) you must 'put' the waterline at the base of the scale

edit: i got your point Pisces,you see my english are betrating me! yes it is possible to be done.the horizontal line up and it will need a reverse og the scale.very nice idea !! lets see it in action,i will try it.thank you

Impressive work!

I am so impressed, I think about manual targeting now, after 3,5 years with SH3 (and only SH3).

Thank you Macman94. You opened new horizons in Onelifecrisis work. . .

. . . with the WAC version

@NGT: thank you very much but hold on a second! the idea of the scale belongs to olc (so credits to him).i am only made a more acurate and fuctional scale (and a 'new' uzo look ....but this has to do with everyones tastes)
wac's version is already...ready! but Pisces gave me a very good idea and i will change the uzo's scale.when it will be ready it will be released

@Pisces : you meant something like this right ? ( the horizontal line that sh3's engine produce is impossible to go up there) :

10x(mark)x(mast)=range

Why not simply add a zero to the numbers in the scale, and then multiply scale x mast?

hello Hitman,
yes i had thought this but i left it becuase then 60=600 ,50=500 ....and the scale would be ''full'' of numbers (only the dots at 3,5 and 4,5 would be the earn).the fact that this scale is not equal devided means that the more marks you add ...the better.i wanted ,if it was possible to have no numbers at all but this seems impossible
here is how the uzo will look with Pisces idea(it will be released asap):

Exactly! Puting the '0'-line on the waterline hides it into the dark area of the hull. Not much use there. I think it is used better to see which part or mast is at the very top, while keeping the scale to the side of the ship's image, like right next to the sharp distinctive bow. (assuming the marks stand out against the darkblue water) Ofcourse, it seems to me it works better but that is in a large part because the uzo/periscope view is very stabilised (does not roll). And that wasn't the case in RL. But there wasn't such a scale anyway so it's a moot point.

The hardcoded blackline does confuse people a bit maybe. Nobdoubt they are going to ask about it's use, or make the mistake of putting it on the waterline. (old habbits die hard) It's very unfortunate that it has to stay in view.

... as was done in real life with the periscope

The horizontal line is placed at the top of the mast because it is much easier to match it with that part of the ship, while the waterline is so long that it will intersect the scale always.

Thanks for the mod-looks great. My uzo appears to be misaligned by 10 degrees. Any body else have this problem-is it the mod or my install? Thanx.
