thanks

Im using 1920/1200, the ratio is 16/10 and also.

I made a 2km Bearing Plotter some months ago but it's metric.

If I remember right, it should be possible to make a 3k-yards version to fit normal filesize, no need for 20000gilos of RAM or Visva.
(2GB should be 'nuff), or DX10.

The download section should have the 3k-yard version, if not several.

Get one and resize it in paint-dot-net to fit your needs.
I don't need it ---> i'm not doing it.
It almost as easy as resizing a picture.

Thanks for your reply. Problem is: resizing to what. I dont know how to do that. Problem is I`m using the 3000 yards plotter, but its off by 1 degree. I really dont know how to fix that, thats why i was hoping someone else would like to share theirs

Download the small free editor: paint.net.
It can handle *dds files.

Download some 3k yard BO.

Open the sub*_shp_dds file with it.

There's an effect/tool or something that you can use to rotate the 1 degree off.

I know this cuz i've done it to my bearing plotters. I noticed the same
"1 degree off" issue as I was doing my own version.

Im on my friends PC atm, so I cannot help you right now.
But when I get home I might take a peek on what I got and perhaps
upload it here some days later.

Laters...

@jimbob:
Hi, sorry resurrecting an old thread but I was wondering, how did you make that bearing tool? What software did you use? If I knew how to do it then I might make a 2500 yards version for 1680x1050.

Thanks

I'm going to give this another bump in hopes that maybe someone has a 2000-2500yd bearing plotter for 1680x1050 since all the links posted above seem to be dead. I checked the downloads section as well and I've found none for that specific resolution.

I'm clueless as to how to begin to make my own. I'm fooling around with a 1280x960 one in Paint.net but I feel like I'm trying to disarm a bomb blindfolded

Thanks in advance!
