I'm going to enable it to be movable by the key combination of Ctrl + heading bar keys (default Q and E). Adding shift to the key combination will increase the rotation rate.

The front side compass rose has been unlinked from the sub's current heading. It requires the key combination of Ctrl + heading bar keys (default Q & E) to rotate it. Adding shift to the key combination will increase the rotation rate.

wish it could be possible to rotate the compass rose with mouse but it's not. There's too many overlapping images to make this happen already. It's either keyboard to control it or linking it to bearing TDC dial. You all decide here quick cause I'll be finishing up the patch here soon.

Backside will be moveable as stated. The key combination changed though from Ctrl + heading bar keys to Alt + Heading bar keys. Ctrl was just too clumsy to use while pressing the heading bar keys.

ок

using alt + another key causes the 'bell' of the computer to sound. Very annoying. Looks like it's back to Ctrl + keys....

Just discovered a problem with RAOBF:

When RAOBF is ON, some buttons of the TDC, like for example the red "Fire" button, do not work anymore, even if they are visible.

It is probably all TDC buttons overlapped by the RAOBF bitmap.

you are correct. Trying to fix it now

version 4.4.0 patch 1 available here: http://www.filefront.com/17313596/Ne...4-0-patch1.7z/

This patch contains the following fixes:

- from input from DrJones I was able to make the Attack Disc's discs independently controlled. The Bearing and Lead Angle disc is no longer linked to the AOB disc
- the Attack disc front side compass rose is no longer linked to the sub's current heading. It is now controlled via keys. The keys are Ctrl + the heading bar keys (default is Q & E). Adding shift to the keypress will cause the compass rose to rotate faster
- the Attack disc back side degrees outer disc is now controlled via keys. The keys are Ctrl + the heading bar keys (default Q & E). Adding shift to the keypress will cause the backside outer disc to rotate faster
- the Attack disc front side bearing and lead angle disc no longer 'jumps' to position when clicked on
- from input from DrJones the operation of the RAOBF has been made more user friendly. Clicking on it no longer makes it 'jump' to the new position
- removed most of sync commands this mod was giving at game start to ensure sync between mod and game
- due to the above the mod no longer suppresses messages from the messagebox at game start
- changed Z order of RAOBF so that it doesn't interfere with any items on the scopes/nav map
- resized the RAOBF inner graticules to match the RAOBF size to prevent interference with any items on the scopes/nav map

Many thanks, TDW !!!

forgot to update the U-Jagd add-on mod with the changes from patch 1 thus patch 1.1 released: http://www.filefront.com/17313933/Ne...-patch-1-1.7z/

Unfortunately interference is still there:

EDIT: On the Attack Disk, now, how do-you turn the disc "C" (Target disc) ?!?

ACS

TheDarkWraith · 09-23-10, 12:07 PM

Disc A (Relative bearing) - fixed
Disc B (Compass rose) - Ctrl + heading bar keys (default Q & E keys)
Disc C (Target disc) - mouse draggable - grab the end of pointer
Disc D (Bearing and lead angle) - mouse draggable - grab the inside of the ring
Disc E (Attack course pointer) - heading bar keys (default Q & E keys)

Now the problem reported above about buttons not being able to be pushed is due to screen resolution. The TDC page has a higher Z order (more visible) than the scopes pages. Thus any overlapping of images will render the below unusable. I can't move the TDC page Z order lower because it will cause problems other places.

OK with A, B, D, E, but in my case, Disc "C" won't move AT ALL. I tried to grab it with the mouse, at the top of the transparent pointer, inside the brown area, but it does not work.

Could it be a question of resolution settings (4:3, not 16:9) ?

Please help.

I see.

But in this case, I wonder if you cannot make a 4:3 version with all RAOBF a bit smaller, so it does not overlap these buttons. If you have a look, you will see it should be perfectly possible to do it (I mean, the size of it will still be acceptable).

are you using patch 1.1? Disable all add-on mods and just leave the base UI mod and see if you can't rotate it

EDIT:

is the middle button of the attack disc green? If it's red then yes, you can't rotate it

I get an unexpected error has occurred(-1) at File Front when trying to download the patch.
