Anyplace to download BetterScopes 1.3 or the newest version? Thanks

Be carefull - i have no idea if the size of the overlays have changed in BetterScopes 1.51!!

You can do a quick verification by carefully doing the Overlap system of Collimation test that i described in the first post.

It does not work with 1.51, It causes SHIV to lock up with the loading bar on the opening screen about 3/4 complete. Cycle them back out, and business as usual.

Ok THAT sounds strange. I can understand if it opens and gives a distorted image, but not that it crashes due to two other graphical images as background layer. What mods have you got installed now?

Mav87th,

Just read the README, awesome work, as I am always looking to increase the accuracy of game play in SH4, I am looking forward to installing this one!

Thanks!

56 downloads in less then a week.... pretty good

Now if any of you 56 skippers has any feedback to me; be that critique or suggestions then please put them here in the thread. I'd like to develope the cameras.dat file further.

Next step is to make it Real Nav compatible with either a 30deg. sextant mod, or a 60 deg sextant mod. - im not sure if a 30 deg. mod is best. It's more precise, but allso rents you with less possibilties to read stars (0-30 and 60-90 degrees). Another idea is too combine a 30 and 60 degree mod. To do this ill make one of the views (fx. the deckgun) use a 30 deg vertical angular angle and keep the bridge view at 60 deg angular angle - then the same sextant with 60 divisions can be used in both positions. A third idea is to give the bridge view an extra zoom level of x2 and then utilize this with the sextant (x2 zoom at 60 deg angular angle gives 30 deg angular angle).

But for now its feedback on the present file....
