Sorry ...
It's in 3D model or in cfg file ...???

Anvart, the mast heights used to calculate manual found ranges are in the Data\Sea\"Ship_Name"\*.cfg files. Their easily changeable using Windows Notepad. Whatever figure is placed here will be used within the game calculations for a Stadimeter solution. It's also used on the Recognition Manual pages for the specific mast height value.

You should note that the Computer found ranges are based on a completly different figure. As far as I can tell when the Computer finds range for you the map coordinates make up the range distance solution. Think of the computer having a vector grid to find the distance between two points. The calculations are easily made with a computer. Mast heights only play a part when in manual range finding. This is why the Computer found ranges have always been correct within the game.

Thanks.
This all is known to me ...
I have understood ... you use "abstract" values ...

If you mean I use values that are plucked out of thin air, I do not. If you've read my "Discussion" portion of the Ship Centered, Accuracy Fix thread, I describe in detail how I derive the correct mast height. Are they out of a reference book I found somewhere? Hell no! I calibrate the known distance, to the correct mast height through a math equation. The problem is the game does not calculate true to life measurements with the Stadimeter. In other words three feet doesn't make a yard to the game, at least when it comes to using the Stadimeter for manually finding range. The game could be using furlong's, fathom's, or parsec's for measuring distance, but if it doesn't do it accurately a correct figure is useless to the solution.

If you mean I use values that have no relation to a real world measurement such as: There's no way the GrafSpee had a mast height of 37.9 meters!?!? Yep, your right. BUT at 37.9 meters height the manually found range over a 1415 distance is darn close to what it should be.

No, i don't ...

And Yes and No ...
I wished to precise, that stadimeter function does not work properly ...
Thanks.

Anvart, I appoligize for not understanding exactly your question. I think it has to do with the stuff between my ears!! Sometimes I don't hear too good.
