Sadly you will appears into the control room, then you must to "navigate" inside the sub with the free camera up to arrive to the conning tower and then you can have a close up of the radar screens....

Well.... Thats one way to get closer ....

But this is a better way, mate...

OK - this is looking really fine, but I'm confused about the installation methodology. I D/L'ed the latest (1.22, full set of many different types), and decided to install one of the Bluegreen spider with dark versions. I really liked the smaller contact blips, so I also D/L'ed and installed that adjunct mod recommended at the end of the first post. I also wanted to get rid of the word "range" on the screen, so I D/L'ed that adjunct mod also recommended at the end of the first post. However, when I tried to install that last one with JSGME, it reported several conflicts with the first two mods.

Do you need to install all three mods to get rid of the word "Range" while still having the cool screen/overlay and the smaller blips, and, if so, is there a particular order that you need to install them in so as to get the best end result? Or is this not yet ready for prime time in terms of being able to get a fully-usable result when installing via JSGME?

Just unzip Anvarts RADARSWEEP mod to a temp folder and open the Radarsweep folder in your temp folder. Then just copy and paste the SHControllers ACT file to the main SH4 folder.
I think it works on the stock radar as well.

Question: I want to use "Bluegreen Spiderw + Rg circles-dark" but why are now ranges 10-20-30 instead of 5-10-15 and 20-40-60 instead of 10-20-30?

Thanks - worked like a charm - just deleted everything except that ACT file from Anvart's mod, so I could still install it via JSGME, and bingo - the "range" word is gone - thanks for the tip! And thanks to Mraah, Anvart, Redwine and all the others for this great work

Thank you for clarifying that buteobuteo. .

I reworded the download link to help make it clear what file is needed in Anvarts mod to remove the word "range".

Question on this one: I see the range values for the two displays are different. Is this by design, or should they both be the same values?

Also, with the files installed, I have the following anomaly:



As you can see, the PPI set to short range, while the A-scope shows the long range setting. Is there a reason for this happening?

There's no anomaly. Remember, the A-scope ranges are in hundreths of meters(yards), so add two zero's to the range ... ie the short range (step 3) on the A-scope shows 0-10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80 , this translates to 0-8000m, not 80,000.

In v2 of my range step mod I used ranges for the A-scope that match the range displayed on the PPI, for simplicity and to allow the "pips" to be displayed, ie not off the scale.

If you're using my 80|40|8 mod and would prefer the default SH4 range scale you can make this tweak (I'm at work so I don't have the default values handy but if memory serves me right the below tweak is the default range with just a swap of 1 and 3 :

Step 1 = 6000
Step 2 = 2000
Step 3 = 300

The values are the increments. In my remarks I added the (range x 8) to remind me of how many increments are display, ie total range 0-2400m. So, with a value of 300 you would see this on the bottom scale :

0-3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24

Ah, that explains it. I'll keep it then like it is. Thanks!
