Love the Signature Avatar. Would look nice on the side of my UBoat.


@TDW just wondering is there a way to send a clicked command to a button without physically click it. Would mean we could send a clicked command to the Send AOB to TDC and Send Speed to TDC to get around the reset to zero on the PK Bug.

Precision?
If the target is in long range that the error of measurement is higher than closer. Second thing: the first measurement of AoB is wrong, real angle is near 24° - this is the main reason why the value of speed is too small.

Wouldn't want to be that captain in the vid when he returned home.

Hiya,

3.1.1

Is it the heat (damn hot in the uk for a change lol) or is it something in 3.1.1 that causes me to ctd everytime i try to save ingame ??

I always save surfaced and in daylight with no contacts around (if that helps)

Cheers

Def

Edited : Removed via jsgme all 3.1.1 and game saves fine

Think I'll stick to my ol' Fast 90 setup. heh

Well the distance to the target was > 2000m when taking the readings and I'm not really good at precisely using the stadimeter. I line up the prism where I think it's supposed to be and click the mouse.
I'm also not very good at judging starting AOB when I lock onto a ship. If it's close to broadside then I'm able to judge AOB pretty well (90 ), anything other than that is a crap shoot for me. I'm pretty decent at judging 45 also though. The speed finder's accuracy is dependent upon initial range and initial AOB when you start it thus is why the speed readings were varied.
The epic amount of changing dial values was to demonstrate that the speed and AOB TDC dials didn't reset to 0 when using the stadimeter or any other dials. It was also needed because the speed finder is more accurate if you redo the range and AOB for the target before taking another speed determination (if you know your AOB was correct then there's no need to redo the AOB. I'm always updating my AOB because I'm a poor judger of it. Range has to be updated because the target's range has changed from when you last took a speed determination)
I have fixed one minor error that appears in that video though. Did you notice that when I moused into the AOB TDC dial after taking a stadimeter reading that it's TGT value was WAY off? I've fixed it now so that the value goes to the value last set by the red button push. Now someone may ask why does it change at all? Ubi bug! They always reset the AOB after a stadimeter reading. I'm trying to minimize the 'damage' of it. Once I figure out how to set dial's current value and new value via code this bug will be a thing of the past.

How are you able to tell the initial AOB so well? I have a very hard time judging that

Thank for mod update and video.

One question: is possible to automatic turn on the clock if I start to determinate target speed? (Of course, clock should be turned off when speed is determinated).

I will see what I can do with this. Should be really easy to implement. Great idea also

I'm trying to figure out how to extract the 'delegates' from a control. Not quite there yet though.....

I just made it. If you want it for a Tower Emblem, I can redo it as TGA. I really made it for TDW. Was wondering if TheDarkwraith would want it for his Signature...

Should the Clock start automatically as soon as you fire a Torepedo?

Speaking of the clock. I made a new chrono.dds if you want to put it in the NewUIs_TDC builds. Have 3 versions, Normal Size and Mini.

Thats ok, will give TDW first dibs on it - lovely work though.
I've been meaning to do up a new Grim Reaper for my avatar.
Hence the nickname reaper7 (The seven I picked because it looks like the reapers syth)

Hi TDW just uploaded my version of the stadimeter fix, if you want to have a look at it. If theres anything in it of use to you feel free .
