[REL] PPI Circle Range Mark v1.22

Mraah · 05-27-07, 11:26 PM

Update on V1.21 --

1. Modified MARK_1 - 4 scope's : DarkShips Alpha layer hint!!! See post # 4 in this thread for a screen shot.

2. RW and FF Scopes - Redwine's and LukeFF's requested scopes. Screenshots on this thread as well.

Look for them on Monday between noon and midnight. I know that's a 12hr block but I'll post my progress. I'm on a double midshift again so Monday morning is like a Friday night in my work week.

Additional V1.21 PPI's :

For those skippers that don't like to mess with tweaking their own files but would prefer a more functional range step (albeit ahistorical??) I will be including some PPI displays with a modded range selection.

Example Range Choices ;
1. 40|20|8.
2. 40|20|10 . See below for explaination.
3. ??|??|?? . To match the range scale on that PPI only.

Reason for a reverse selection - On initial patrol loading it will default to the highest range so you won't have to click twice to zoom out when first jumping to the radar station. Also, I feel that a downward range step is better because you naturally select a shorter range as you close in on the target. Plus, it will jump from short to long range in one step!!!!

In the back of my mind I still have this feeling that the Range Indicator Unit was tied into the PPI ... basically adjusting the range or sweep size using your current range step. We don't have an RIU so we'll have to make do, IMO. My personal preference is the 40|20|10.

Suggestions welcome.
