Binocular with Reticule

muser · 10-26-07, 11:56 PM

Having played SH3 (stock, and GWX) off and on for over a year, I noticed I was rarely using the binoculars. They just didn't seem to add that much to the sim.

So, with an eye towards spicing them up a little...

The horizontal and vertical axes of the reticule are calibrated in 1-degree units for the major divisions, down to 0.05-degree units for the smallest divisions. From largest to smallest division they are calibrated as follows:

1.0 deg
0.5 deg
0.1 deg
0.05 deg

I've tested in both SH3 1.4b and GWX 1.03 with no problems.

If you want to give it a try, here is the download link:

http://files.filefront.com/binocularV1zip/;8897360;/fileinfo.html

If the link above doesn't work, its the "binocularV1.zip" file at the following link:

It comes with its own installer or you can do it manually.

By the way, if any of you modders ever want to use this mod, or the methods I used to create this mod, please feel free to do so and don't feel obligated to seek my permission or give me credit or anything like that. This is just a small way to give back to the subsim community, and I hope some of you find it useful. I know I sure have enjoyed the incredible mods that many of you have contributed over the years, and look forward to seeing the results of the several very interesting utilities and mods that are currently in development on this forum.
