Where are the different ships?

[QUOTE=Sailor Steve;1594858]The standard wire antennae are fine for sending and recieving messages. The RDF loop is just for pinpointing the exact direction a signal is coming from. This is valuable for navigation and for stalking a target. Otherwise it's useless. I usually only have mine lowered only while in port, just because it makes me feel good, but now that I think of it probably the only time it's needed is when...well, never really. But it looks cool.

Great, now I'm gonna want the mod that lets me lower it.

I think I may be turning into one of those people that spends more time tinkering and testing than actually playing.

And here I thought your middle name was Wombat.

The Angry Wombat is my superhero alter ego. Thanks for blowing my cover.

It's simple, really. Open menu_1024_768.ini. Scroll down to [G27 I5] (I know it says 'Name=Compass', but the entire [G27] block is the Binoculars). Danlisa was kind enough to leave both visual files in the game, so all you have to do is change

Mat 0=data/menu/gui/bearing2.tga

to

Mat 0=data/menu/gui/bearing.tga.

Yep. Just remove the '2' and it will redirect to the .tga file with the bearing marks.

I guess it's easier than I let on, but the standing rule is always think twice before touching Menu_1024_768.

Okay, thanks! I really would like to have those back.

You don't already have it??? I considering having my flag up while in port and down while at sea to be a "must-have". And the loop looks so cool when it goes up and starts rotating. And it raises and lowers the radar as well (not that I've ever played far enough in to see that).

Sorry, but I find it hard to muster sympathy. I've played one patrol since last September.

But I thought "Frau Kaleun" was...

I assume "Valkyrie" is just the job description.

I, on the other hand, always orient myself visually first, then switch to the goggles.

I have looked at it, and started reading threads about it, I may have even downloaded it - not sure. But I think it probably conflicts with something else I'm using and won't give up or else there's a fix for that but it's complicated or else I'd have to do a lot of manual editing of files that I've already tinkered with for other reasons... I can't remember. Whatever it is it always looks like more tinkering and testing and I've got 3-4 of those little projects already on the back burners, front burners... I'm out of burners!

See I always end up scouring the horizon with my binocs, and then get frustrated because I can't find whatever it is the WO is nattering on about, so I switch to the UZO so I can turn to the the exact bearing and try to find it. Of course after that I can switch back to the binocs and usually find it with those, because I've already seen what I'm looking for.

It just feels weird to always be peering into the UZO to get a look at something. Plus with assisted targeting on, if I find it on the UZO it will tell me what it is even if it's 18km away when we first spot it.
