hello UnderWaterDude,

no x12 is not historical correct and some time ago i posted here:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=472
what someone can do and bring the historical magnifications to attack scope too.
ps: the post is describing how to work on Widescreen MaGui files but you can follow the same steps on MaGui F's files too.

no no Banryu , the x12 was just a magnification i used while playing sh3 and i just shared it. it has nothing to do with history or anything else
everyone who wants to have the historical magnifications can follow the above steps and make them so.

btw, i am wondering, was that hard that days for Carl Zeiss to go higher than x6 ?

If I just may ask, why does the Magui UI has no AOB 'control' in the TDC(the one with red and green sections like the bearing 'control'), unlike in vanilla UI? How then does the TDC updates itself of the target's position, in the lead up to me firing the torpedos?

I mean, the aob does help the TDC to determine the direction the target is going doesn't it?

i am sure that you mean something else FiveStarz becuase ,as the guys allready posted, the AoB dial is there (in fact the fuctionality of TDC is exactly as the stock does)

Sorry for the disinformative post then
But I am pretty sure I red somewhere the things I have posted here about x12 magnification, I can't belive I imagined it

Thanks for all your prompt replies! Guess I must be confusing myself..

Can someone share with me exactly if I infer the lower dials in the TDC of Magui F correctly as follows:

(from left to right)
- gyro? - bearing - range - speed

It seems to me that the first dial (the furthest left one) looks similar to the gyro dial and hence it's not the aob dial, or is it?

I recognise the second, third and fourth dial being similar to the vanilla dials of bearing, range and speed respectively though.

the devs , thanks to Hitman's attention, have made an error and designed the Bearing dial like the AoB's dial . It was the AoB's dial the one that had this 'cut' showing the 10ths of degrees and not the bearing dial. ( the bearing dial in the real thing had two different dials one for the 360 degrees and one more for the 10ths.the mini TDC panel of MaGui F is showing only the 360 degrees dial for the bearing---mostly becuase luck of space and i didn't bother very much with it as you can easily see the 10ths of bearing directly from your scope).

so the answer to your question is : Bearing - AoB - Range - Speed

(you can easily see that the top left dial is the bearing one by checking your bearing from scope and compare it with the needle of the spoken dial)

it is very much possible to have read it somewhere

Aha! I see! Alright, thank you for your explaination. Back to sinking those merchants now that this Kaleun knows his sub controls

Thanks Makman!

Really wanted to give this GUI a spin. However when I enable it JSGME, nothing changes in the game. The GUI stays the same (i.e. doesn't match the screenshots in this thread).

Also, in case it is relevant, I have tried MaGUI Final as well as MagGUI v3.4 WS and neither have any observable effect on the GUI

I remember now where did I read what I reported before on the higher maginification of the attack scope: in the GWX manual, when it explains that the attack scope has got 3 zoom levels: x1.5, x6 and x10. The last one, the manual says, is not historical but was added to better reflect (in-game) the better capabilities of the high magnification of the attack scope. Or something along that line.

hello Nukesub,
you haven't put the correct files in your jsgme folder

read and follow the installation notes

...whatever, i don't agree with all these but ,as i said,the x12 was just a magnification i used while playing sh3 and i just shared it. it has nothing to do with history or anything else

Ok, understood sir and btw I like a lot the x12 magnification

Hi fellow captains
Firstly to Makman94,thanks for all the hard work you must have put into this.I have been using this great gui for some time-adds so much and makes manual targeting worth getting into.
Now for my question about the attack disc.Is it possible to add the vorhalt to this disc and if so how would i go about it-I can live without it just interested to know if it can be done.

thanks to anybody who may have an answer

hello Andycts,

yes,it can be done

search in the forum to find the U-jagd tools (a mod called ''U-jagd1.3.1_GWX'' that made by Joegrudman). in there you will find instructions of DIY for these tools

good moding

[andycts]

Thanks for the reply Mackman i will have a go at this at weekend.

good hunting my friend
