Anyone encountered this before?

Just a bump to see if anyone has any ideas on this issue.

So I've re-discovered gameplay in SH3 GWX - ARB's 1920x1080 is the only widescreen mod that I can get to display on my entire screen (MaGUI, Ahnenerbe are both great mods too, they just won't fill my whole screen).

1. How much zoom is the attack scope supposed to go to? I have 1.5x and 6x. Is there a 12x? Should I be able to CTRL-mousewheel to zoom or just normal mousewheel and two zoom levels?
2. I assume the observation scope has the same zoom levels?
3. When using the RAOBF wheel, I'm consistently getting incorrect ranges and AOBs. What zoom level should I be using? How many horizontal tick marks should I be counting when determining AOB (i.e. do I need to double the count or not)?
4. When opening up the RAOBF, it defaults to selecting an AOB on the scratchpad. Is the RAOBF in this mod designed to *just* do AOBs? Or can I line up the quantity of vertical ticks to 90 degrees and read off the range at the point where it lines up with the mast height? I see no other way of entering a range into the scratchpad other than using the stadimeter.
5. An ideas if using Tribute to Manual targeting followed by the MFM and Izgud's new silhouettes could be throwing off my measurements? I note that most of the silhouettes are missing reference marks to indicate whether the mast or the funnel is the intended reference height.
6. What's the division of the tick marks on the UZO to determine range? Likewise on the scopes? Does it work out to be H * 50/ticks (x1.5) or H * 200/ticks (6x) to give a rough estimate of range?

When you click on an officer Chief engineer, Navigator, Weapons, there;s a small set of order that pop up over the top of them. using 1024 768 ini is it possible to edit those graphics\orders making them larger. say the same size as the second set of commands ie, Depth under keel, Range to cores end...

I'm looking to make them larger and easier to see.
but before I start tinkering with it I wanted to ask if im looking in the right place.
1024 ini file.

thanks

Nevermind, found out what to do.

I tried installing this mod but when i run the TychoSh3Patch.bat it says that it failed.

eriste · 04-30-20, 01:15 PM

I was able to get the SH3.exe to patch but now when I launch the game it says "cannot initialize 3D engine."

I decided to go back to subsims during the lockdown, and since my PC won't run SH5, I decided to try out SH3 with the 1920x1080 GUI. All I can say is WOW and a big thank you to the many modders who contributed.

I know many people aren't into sims from 2005, but the HD GUI is amazing. I'm two missions in to a new career and loving it. It's like finding an old friend.
