[Fish40]

Great job! I'm hopeing this will somehow find it's way into RFB.

Two questions:

Is this and the Range Rings/Bearing mod compatible with 1.5/RFB?

As someone else asked, is 9999 yards the max range?

Range rings are OK with RFB, as far as I know. The range dials are for SH4 1.5, but won't work with RFB without overwriting some changes they have made. The interior files for the submarine have been changed and it will destroy anything they have changed in the interiors (which is a lot).

Yes, but there's a trick to it. The 1000s dial won't go above 9, but the other dials, 100s and 10s will still rotate. If you know the range is between 10,000 and 11,000 km, you can read the range accurately, as 9,850 would mean 10,850 - if that makes sense. As long as you can get the thousands right, you can track with the hundreds and tens.

Here's a conversion table for converting the metres from the readout to yards, for those who like to plot in game with imperial.

http://files.filefront.com/Metres+to.../fileinfo.html

The first page is in 50 metre increments, but for those who like a bit more precision, there's 5 more pages of 0-10,000m in 10 metre increments, 2,000 metres per page for ease of use.

Very nice and usable mod indeed. Especially for us who want to play with "map contact" turned off.


Now, when can we have a version compatible with RFB or TMO? (please please..... )

Only difference I have noted is that the ObScope constantly rotates, and is thus unusable.

I downloaded and installed RFB, then installed the range ring mod, then the range dial mod. The observation periscope was fine. What sub were you using and what other mods? Perhaps you have some corrupted mod configuration?

Here's a version for TMO 1.52:

Hi.

I have been using this nifty little mod for a while now.

I have just installed the new TM1.7 which includes among thing a three step zoom function on the scopes + a two step zoom on "UZO" and binoculars.

Now, if I add the radar mod after TM1.7, the zoom functions reverts to the original version with only two steps for scopes and none at the UZO.

Tried another thing by adding the Radar mod before TM1.7 and it works fine BUT the digital presentation of the range is no longer there...

Any ideas?

Cheers

RESOLVED!!!!!

Found the correct order of install:

1) Trigger maru 1.7

2) Nsgeis Radar range mod 2.05 for TMO1.52 (mods the PPI and A-scope)

3) Max optics for TM1.7 (brings back 3 zoom levels of TM1.7)

4) Nsgeis Radar Ring and Bearing Line mod.



Works like a charm again but with TM1.7 as a base. No changes needed!!!!!!


Cheers
