This is nothin special...just writting something...it still costs a lot of nerves to find an error in scripting when you spent a whole day to find it....And what did i forget (----> " : " <----) a colon

Yes been there , especially the incorrect symbol causing CTD.
Often taken me days to spot - a lot of frustration and sometimes caused me to start the script from scratch - darn these old eyes .

Now it is possible to change the dials you like to use on the fly ingame.

There will be actualy two versions.

1. You can use the first one i made
2. or you can use the original one known from the magui interface as a slide in control.

You are also able to choose the map tools on the nav map.

1. The Original Map Tool Buttons from the Magui interface
2. Or the Geometric Tools integrated in sh5.

each maptool options can be activated by the slide in Panel i created that a maptool is only visible if you want to use some.

for the tai map the map tools will here also integrated as you know them from reapers mod.

The anoying maptools on the left side are gone away from our sight.

I am still have to do some more details here...

- Integrating the tdw's radiomod.
- thinking about and implementation of slide in Menu elemts
and so on...

Best Regards

what is it and what is it used for?

Sorry for the dely in replying, I only rarely browse the SH5 forums

This is a wiz wheel with two purposes: 1) To get target AOB starting from known course and true bearing, and 2) To convert relative into true bearing.

It also serves easily to get target true course from AOB and true bearing

I copied it from a real item I found at a militaria collector's web.

You mean the chart at the right with ship silhouettes?

That serves to make quick estimations of range based on the amout of lense the ship is covering. Because we know the field of view and aperture degrees, it is easy to calculate it. So, when you see one of the ships in the graphic covering the lense, you can quickly estimate how far it is. If it covers only half the lense, then its the same distance X2, if only a quarter of it, X4, and so on.

This is not my invention, the same graphic was used aboard uboats in a metal plaque usually fixed near the periscope. For the ever newer, greener and less trained crews that were sent to the Uboats, such things were good aids in the stressful combat moments.
