It's an amazing job by Joe and OLC, I'm proud of having been able to collaborate with them

One precision to the user manual: For fixed line speed measuring with the U-jagd chrono, the manual tells you to reduce speed as much as possible. That's correct, but precision is improved even more if you set your heading to the enemy ship whose speed you are measuring. That will ensure your "fixed wire" (The vertical line of the scope crosshair) moves less when compared to the target, and doesn't influence the result.

Happy hunting everyone

@joegrundman:
I spent several hours to combine this mod and "Racerboy's HUD for milkman" together, it seems to be a success but there are 2 problems remained.
1, How to use the 45 degree line in the AOB finder tool?
2, U-Jagd tools worked fine with "Racerboy's HUD for milkman", but the Attack Disc slides with the rudder big dial and its position was too high. How to fix it?

@u.Prestige

thanks for your questions!

The first question tells me that the manual is not adequately clear.

The answer is that reticule markings are there to help you measure the length of the target. You can either just count the horizontal markings that the target covers, or else you can lock the target and using the up/down cursor keys move the target until one end of it just touches the diagonal line. At this point read off the number.

The number on the diagonal line is basically a repeat of the horizontal markings, but doubled. This is because when you lock onto a target, the lock is focused on the center, therefore you just need to measure out from one side and double it to get a length reading. The diagonal scale is already doubled so you can just read off the correct optical length.

The second issue is more complicated.

I am not familiar with this mod, but I am guessing taht the 6-dials have been replaced with larger slideout dials.

The reason it slides out with the rudder is that i attached it to the rudder page in order to avoid slideouts. Such a large object sliding out can become a nuisance, so attaching it to the rudder page felt to be a better approach. I wasn't really thinking about the consequences of attaching it to a slideout rudder dial when i did it.

So the best solution is to ask you where you would like it to be. If you are happy for it to slide out with the rudder, then the issue is one of repositioning. If you can post a screenshot I can advise the necessary edit to have it in a usable positioni

Good luck

joe

@looney

no it isn't sorry. It's set for the periscope zoom of x6, not the x10 of GWX. Expect a GWX version early next week

Thank you very much joegrundman!
I have understood the usage of the 45 degree line last night when I read the documentation carefully.
I just wanted to see and keep the attack disk in the center of the screen with no slide out when click the rudder toggle button
I have studied the menu_1024_768.ini, here is my config of the attack disk:
