Any particular reason ?

Hello everyone. I just received my collector's edition and can now start playing.
I am really not known with subsims, although I did play SH3 sometimes.

Can someone explain me what this is used for?

Thanks a lot!

With best regards,

It is used to find the targets position relative to yours in Navigation map or Attack map, zoom close to your position on the map and you will see a 360 Bearing in of which the middle of it is your sub., With alot of aligning and work, you may also find the Targets course, and initially your targets bearing/AOB, one of the most crucial 3 things to calculate for your TDC to make a good shooting solution for you.


S! To all

Hello!
What is the difference between the collector´s edition an the "usual" one?
Just curious

This mod is gives you a 360 degree bearing tool overlaying your sub when zooming in on the normal map or the attack map. It basically gives you bearing and distance to target by simply looking at the targets location in relation to your sub.

As for the editions of the game... that's pretty obvious, Normal edition= the game DVD, normal case and manual + keyboard hot key card. The collectors edition is simply, nice big case, game DVD + some other goodies that one don't really need unless you are a real fan :p check this link http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/imag...2&s=videogames

OK updated the 1st post with what I hope will work for all Metric/Imperial 360 Bearing Tool.

I changed to color in rgb and saved in a different format, now this made the files even heavier then before, I don't think it matters but anyway. Tried it on my rig and all seems to work just fine.

The problem with the scale of the Imperial version is still a problem as it cuts the screen when zoomed in...I think one actually have to do a new one in Adobe Illustrator or something to make it smaller and skip some of the outer rings, now that's a bit of work but I could look in to it later.

Another solution would be to add a MIP Map level above the ones in the file now (basically having the tool showing up at a zoom level before the one it showes up in now) something I have to play around with. Having big issues with the NV DDS tool as it seems very buggy, crashes every other attempt to save as DDS. Anyhow its beeing uploaded as we speak...whait for an EDIT! infront of the DL links.

Thanks CC,

They both work perfectly.

That's nice to hear!!!. OK I will probably some time during the day here see if I can modify that Imperial version to show up on a zoom level above the current one.
