Complicated Math - Page 3

I really do feel badly that I find it confusing in using the tools from the slide-out at the top of the NavMap. However, I have spent all day so far, since 5 AM until now 3:15 PM, copying two methods of plotting and printed them out as well as printing the pictures that went with the two methods. I have now made a manual for plotting. I will keep trying to comprehend the use of these tools. However, at the moment I don't think I could add any further plotting bearing mods, 'cause that would confuse me even more. I do not use RUb1.45 'cause I don't like it as it had taken away a portion of SH3 that I prefer; but no matter. I'm getting there. I have (I think) installed all the mods that I want and as soon as I sink every ship in this convoy and return to base, I am thinking of installing SH3 Commander. Now I know there is a lot of reading I have to do there as well, but guys talk so much about it, so it must be a good feature. I prefer the German ranks, but everything else in English. I don't know if I can configure SH3 Commander v2.5 to do that.

I installed the sound trainer in the single mission folder and I find it diffuclt to use that. So I could use bearing reported by SO that I could use to my advantage. I wish there were instructions for it.

I installed two manual targetting mods in the single mission folder so at least I am taking every step I can to try to understand both NavMap plotting and manual targetting.

So, as you can see, I'm trying, but my mind is getting too 'boggled' at the moment.

I really hope to understand all this and be able to do everything before I actually finish the war

Any constructive assistance is certainly appreciated.

Another thing I did that really helps me out is that I changed the NW, ENE, etc. to actual bearings on the compass, so I can understand it better.

Another problem I have now is that there is a space between the words at the top of my signature before the picture, where there was no space in the original signature I put up. I cannot figure out how to get rid of that space without screwing up the link to the fate of U51 or losing my signature jpg all together.

However, guys have been trying to help, and as I say at the bottom of my signature, the help is greatly appreciated. I think a lot of the guys are starting to understand why I have such problems understanding things.

Thanks for writing. Robert

Oh, btw, I keep both a written report and a photographic record of my patrols at:

A person can learn a lot of what I have done throughout my life before becomming incapacitated by visiting that link. Especially when they read the first archive in March which tells about my life, what I did and that a have a second chance at life.

However, I realize that there are others that are far worse off than I am, and my prayers go out to them.
