Well that doesn't seem right. If an Allie reports a contact I would think it's reasonable that they calculated Target course and speed when they made the report Wonder if it could be faked with a super mark instead without breaking Real Nav.

that is calculate auto by your navigator and apear in message box after you receive and reported convoy from BDU... i was speaking about the items that are not been displayed infromation when you put your mouse on them

I completely forgot about adding more pencils in the geometric tools for the supermarks and navigation fixes I'll fix this and it will be in test version 10.

At the W directory the supermarks description have incorrect E directory:

does this happen at any longitude or just around the 0 degree?

At this screen is civilian ship with british war flag (as warship)...

In order to filter civilian from military we'd need to add more entries in the ship's .cfg file. We could define an entry like:
IsCivilian=True or False
Then I could read this entry and display the appropriate flag for it. I could also add a filter to SOAN to filter military and civilian ships by adding this entry to every ship.

Hi TDW,

just a question, is it possible to add a precise tool for course setting like on the following picture ?



It could be very helpful with Real Navigation mod, where you need to set an exact value. Now it is very difficult.

Thanks

In the SH5Enhanced UI style I added the ability for the heading/rudder dial to zoom (to access the heading/rudder dial press 'C' or click the heading bar at the bottom left). This allows you to set a precise course.
The SH3Style and SH4Style UIs already zoom the heading/rudder dial when moused in.
You can control how much zoom (enlargement) the dial has by editing the options file.
Were you aware of this? If so, is this not enough to set a precise course?

[PL_Cmd_Jacek]

I was aware of that, but this is not enough. When I use Real Nav I have to point an exact course, based on my calculation. For example I calculated to go 225.

Today I have to click several times on the compass, observing the message box, if I click correctly.

With the tool I showed on the picture, it will be very precise.

I would like to command precisely " Navigator, 225 please"

Today is:
me: "Navigator 225 please"
Nav: "Is 223"
me: " I said, 225
Nav: "Is 226"
me: "Navigator, WTF, I SAID 225"
Nav: " Ok, ok is 225"

What UI style are you using? If SH5Enhanced, mouse into the heading bar at the bottom left and use the mousewheel to set the desired course. When the desired course is met mouse out of the heading bar for the new desired course to be the new ordered course Press shift + mousewheel to either increase or decrease (can't remember what it does) the desired heading increase multiple per mousewheel movement.

I use SH3 Style (my favorite)

I'll see what I can do to add the SH5Enhanced style of mousewheel heading to the heading/rudder dial of SH3/4 styles

[PL_Cmd_Jacek]

Ok TDW, thank you. I will wait.

Dark is there a way to get the old XO box back. I see now that its a book like that sits off my screen at first till i bring it out. I was kinda wanting the old style one. I use the sh5enhanced ui from yours.

[Trevally.]

Yes. The new compass heading zoom in sh5enhanced UI is very good
