The MaGui mod - Final version

[wolfpack_jim]

Makman hi again

I would like to ask something about the shipchart. I see the drawings and colours but i don't know what it's colour means. If you have any idea you it's welcome. Ah and another think. Doing a reacearch in the net i find in wikipedia that liberty ship displasment is about 14000 tons but in the tmt2 it's appears some 7000 tons. What is going on?

thank in advance for your imply

This morning i did my third patrol with my UIIA and i engaged a medium cargo at 5500 meters. The aob was few degrees less than 90 but to your mod i red few degrees plus. Is it reliable at these distances or i am loosing something here.
thx mate

hi Wolfpack_jim,
what do you mean shipchart ? the freighter's panel at obs scope ?
about your second question , at TMT v2 ,the values for displacements are not edited . the 7170 tons that you see at recmanual is the displacement value that ship is using at its .sim file . this value is the unique value from gwx or from devs (if we assume that gwx hasn't edit it also)

i think that you are trying to get aob from the wheels , right ? if yes, then have in mind that the wheel's method for attacking is only when you want a fast solution for the target (basically when you are in pressure).so, yes your target is very very far (at 5,5 km) for getting an very accurate aob . distance is the 'problem' here .
also, never 'stick' to a solution by one measurment ,always you must 'fining' your solution and this needs time and patience (but if you are in a hurry then you can use the wheels for attacking but your target will be close enough so your solution data will be pretty good then)

I've just realized that I forgot to express my admiration for this mod. It's amazing how many tools you've managed to integrate and simply how awesome it looks.

Hi,

after a long time with GWX and OLC GUI I decided to switch to LSH3 and to try this new (to me) GUI. I love it, especially the combination of all the wheel gizmos with the little notepad. I have just two questions:

1. How do I switch bewtween the different controll dials? I mean compass/rudder, telegraph/knots? I can't seem to find any button or switch for that.

2. Rangefinding with the notepad works great, but it seems to be impossible to send the range to the TDC, the way it used to be in the vanila game. Unless I misremember that. Is it supposed to be impossible or am I doing something wrong?

hello Henri II,

for ...
1. place your cursor at the left of each dial and the secondary dial will pop up automatically

2.
sending range to tdc is very easy to be done . (so easy that can be done by changing one id....or two ,can't remember right now)

I ,also, will like it more to be done so BUT there is a problem here! (big problem)
if i make it to send range to tdc,then the problem is that is sending all data (aob-speed) to tdc . this is hardcoded (afaik) and i don't know a way to overpass this.

maybe you think that there is no notepad at the gui BUT the notepad is hardcoded . this means that there is at every gui but to some of them is OFF view of player .the attack scope page of magui is using also one more element from notepad(exept the range element)...the aob in order to show the aob wheels. this means that if the player have used the aob wheels and after that the stadimeter then...when you press the button to send range to tdc it will send also the aob (becuase aob wheels is a 'covered' aob dial) and will mess the solution . thats why this fuction (sending range to tdc) is disabled.
you have to manualy set the range to tdc.

as i said , i also would like it to be the other way but i can't find a way to make it so...

bye

EDIT : WAIT A MINUTE ! i think i have an idea that might work ! will let you know !

edit 2 : no ! i changed also the altering at dials.cfg but this also didn't work totally correct .(it did the trick but other problems are appearing...).difficult to explain...but i am afraid that range will stay as it is (manually input).
