[REL] Anschütz S2055 gyro compass

Leitender · 09-15-13, 05:02 PM

Gentlemen,

as a small contribution to the game, to the community, and especially to this forum i like to present a small GUI addon for those who use the big compass:

Anschütz S2055 gyro compass (click to download)

Compass U-505

Compass U-995

Anschütz S 2055 compass

Anschütz compass for SH3

This compass was used on german u-boats during the war. Personally, i use this modfication for years and it wasn´t that complicated to create it. However i didn´t find the time to finish a plublishable version of it. Up to now, i have only one version for the standard GWX-GUI though i use a reworked version for sale´s big simfeeling mod in LSH. I don´t know if the use of the standard GWX GUI is still very common or if other GUIs like makmans´s MaGUI Final (which already has a useful compass aboard) are usually used.

The graphics i used are from hitman´s and joegrundman´s great "KM Angriffscheibe" mod from 2007, the idea of the vernier disk comes from Anvart afaik, and latemail´s menu.ini tutorial was a great help. Thank you all for your great work. I did the least.

Design and layout are a 100% copy of the original compass:

-A fix outer ring with 360° relative bearing markings, numbers outside

-a rotating inner ring with 360° true bearing markings, numbers inside

-a readable mirrored true bearing ring,

- and finally the 10° true bearing ring, which was already realised by hitman in his U-505 compass mod 2009 an its decessor "hitman´s GUI" in 2010. With this Vernier disk, Hitman´s compass is 100 times more accurate then the original SH3 compass!!!

At the bottom of the outer bearing disk you´ll find an arrow tip at 180°. There you can read the counter relative bearing, I guess the same function of the second true bearing ring on the inner disk.

With this compass i can immediately order the correct heading towards a sighting of a merchant - or a evasive heading when my lookout discovers a destroyer...

Thus, this functionality replaces the ridiculous "heading to view" order. Now you can feel like a real kaleun and not a computer gamer hitting a button to get where you want. Have fun and enjoy!

Installation:

Folders are JSGME-ready. Just extract and copy into your MOD-Folder. Please see documentation folder. There is a 15 page description of the compass development in SH3 and how all the compasses work. ATM only in german language, maybe someone likes to translate - would be very appreciated.

This addon is only compatible with the "Stock" GWX GUI and will not work with any other GUI and any other big mod.
