Good new and hats off to Arclight

I have been reading his thread a found that I was not patched to my screen size

The marking in his mod are working with the raobf.
Only tested a few ships but height is correct every time
horizontal marks seem to be working if each 1 = 3.3 to 3.5

So now I have removed the yellow raticules and just use the scope mod ones

I have been testing ship lenght and am sure they are in scale.

So far the only error I have found is the Cimarron Tanker Magnum mentioned.

In the CFG it is - Length=139.6

I think this was supposed to be Length=175m to 180m

So, in summary:

Arclight's scope mod, which uses the more realistic 1.5x / 6x zooms, also has the correct markings for the RAOBF

Also, lengths are correct except for the C. Tanker?

Therefore, a tweak to the cfg of the tanker, and installing Arclight's scope mod over DW's UI and we should be cooking with gas, right? A quick, "easy" (once learnt) and realistic method for speed, aob and range?

Yes

horizontal marks = 3.4

Yes but I think any clone needs a sim tweak

After my false start - wrong cameras.cam (you must patch your scope to screen size)

C Tanker is 900m at 90deg AOB - from map

Pic2 - x6 zoom



Pic3 - x1.5 zoom
