[REQ] Bearing indicator in binoculars

SabreHawk · 03-15-10, 04:31 PM

Actually, just making the black background semi-transparent so I can see things around and below the OO. That would be more in keeping it real, sort of simulating the peripheral vision. Cause that way just as in real life, you'd look down with your eyes, with the binoculars still held to your eyes and see the deck, or to one side or the other and see the surounding objects, sides of the tower ect.

Or, just the bearing indicator but well it's just a request and a thought.
And it's just a nice thing to have, I can live without it and just hop on the UZO, but it's nice to quickly swing around and zoom in to where the WO just spotted something.

That is a great idea. Only problem is that the whole screen will be zoomed with the bino's zoom value. Perhaps if two camera's could be mixed into one view?

Untill then ill take TDW's new bino

Man Wraith, you are da man!

Im gonna get this JSGME and install that as I've never had that before and with the number of mods I'd like to use, I can see where it's useful to keep track. But never having used it before I'll need to read up on it.

Thanks so much TDW, you do some really useful stuff.
Chuck.

Oh and yeah Mav, I see what ya mean there on the zoom, would still not do what we'd want of it.

Hmm!

I'll prefer to stay without the bearing indicator. In real life the UBoat commanders didn't have a bearing indicator in their binoculars so i should also have none.

A commander always had to look at the compass on the bridge.

that's why in my UI mods, like I have been doing, it will be an option.
