I am currently using 4.3 with widescreen on top but assume it will still apply. Would be nice to have one handy manual so I cant print it out and read

EDIT: ..The tutorials vids look excellent but without sound you are just teasing me

hi Chubster,
at documents for the tools of MaGui and at included tutorials you will find everything you need . the only tutorial that MAY is 'missing' is the how to use the AOBF rings BUT the way the rings are working are exactly the same at all mods that are using these rings and as many tutorials had allready written for the aobf rings's procedure i don't see the reason to write another one . all that you have to remember is to use the rings at max zoom level of scope and to remember that each mark (at max zoom) is 1. also ,no double mast is needed and we count the whole length of ship...thats all !! at Manos Optics text you will find some more info about the Optics. read all the readme.

the video has no sound (didn't know how to get a video with sound back then).
this video was not intented being in puplic,was made for a friend of mine (and explain it to him via phone).but then i thought that people who are familiar with manual targeting will understand what i am showing at this video so i released it.
at this video,we are attacking target with no 90 degrees method and i am showing there ,also, how to use your gyroangle in order to send to target a torpedo that will hit him vertically.

to understand the main points of video ''Makman Manual Targeting Tutorial'':

1. at plotting parts we get the bearing and range from wo. we find the relative to north bearing and we mark target on map.
repeating this....the more marks for target ..the better(note: the forth mark for target is placed wrong at video...needed to be 100m further)
then we make a hard estimation of target's course ,based on the average of these marks, and draw it on map .at video this course(target's course) is 307 degrees

2. at positioning for attack: place target's course on attack disc and now we decide with what angle we will attack (angle between our course and target's course) .at video i choosed to attack with a 100 degrees angle. the disc shows me the course that i must set to my boat in order to have a 100 degrees attack angle .this course is 227 degrees.so,set course to my sub 227 degrees (and you can see that ,indeed, the attack angle is 100 degrees).once boat is on its course ,it is time to set the first data to tdc . scope at 0 degrees and aob set at 100 right(green).
approach the target's line course to a logical distance and always be on communication with your sonarman in order to be sure that target will not pass behind you (the target's line course was a hard estimation ...remember? even one degree off is enough to see target passing behind you). you must be sure that will approach this line that way that target will pass in front of you (we will attack him with the front torps)

3. fining attack data: stop the boat and draw a line from sub that will use for range measures.now ,target is close to us and with fixed wire method (at this video i am using this one) get target's speed .(take several times and use the averange of times to get the speed) . the wheel show us that target's speed is 7 knots . set target's speed also to tdc.
and we start getting range (and bearing) measures and mark his position on map. these marks are more acurate and will help us to draw target's course with more acuracy . one this is done we readjust aob on tdc .at video this readjustment is scope at 0 degrees and aob=99right(green)

next step is to find the gyroangle that needed in order the torp to move vertically to target . set range to tdc (a hard estimation of distance to current position of target) in order to have an idea of gyroangle.we will fining range adjustment later.
now ,from map get the gyro angle that needed for torp to move vertically.this angle is 9 degrees (to the left of us) which means that we will shoot when gyro dial is showing us the number 360-9=351 degrees.

4. now turn your scope and lock it on target and keep your eye always on gyroangle .you will shoot when it shows 351.one moment before that take a final range measurment ,unlock scope from target ,enter range to tdc ,switch again tdc to auto,aim target with scope and...shoot (do these as faster as you can and don't forget to have allready opened the tubes)

HTH

bye

What is the name of the very first song that is played while you are adjusting the settings before you start the game.
It sounds very familiar and I would like to have this song in my collection.

I just downloaded this MAGUI 3.4 FINAL and look forword to playing, now that I have some time off from college.

I just want to say thank you to Makman94 for another wonderful mod. You make my experience playing more enjoyable and fun.

thank you for your words Tweety,
the song that you hear is Gortoz a ran by Lisa Jerrard (this woman is just a ...phainomeno)

thanks!

Best regards,

hello Brett and Magic ,

this is asked again at past (Magic...i think it was you that asked me about this back then) and i have said that it can't be done ,afaik !

hi Salvadoreno....look above ! yes, no sound becuase didn't know back then how to make a video with sound ....later....i thought that it would be better to leave it there for download instead of removing it .

eh....they say that one picture is one thousand words ....now if we think that a video is thousand of ...pictures then..,in fact, i was very very....wordy (!!!)....right ??

bye,
