German Whizz Weel in Flash and exe available

[dertien]

Dear Kaleuns


Thanks to Hitman's templates from the German Whizz wheel (found here) , I have created a flash version which you can view here. Please be patient if you don't see the wheel straight away, it's 1,13 megabyte, so give it time to load.

The wheels can be turned by clicking and holding the the mouse on the very transparent buttons found on the wheels (those that change your mousepointer from a pointer to a dragging hand) and dragging them around.

The front/back button is obvious.

Now if someone can make a decent tutorial, on how to use this thing, it would be grand.

for those who want the offline version in exe format it can be found
here (1.88 meg). Don't worry its virus free.

Great work. Dertien! Only we need a Whizz Wheel tutorial for dummys (like me)

[Reece]

Can this be run in SHIII, is there a hot key to bring it up?
Thanks.

Hello Reece,

I am very sorry old buddy, but I cannot make flash run inside the SH3 game engine AFAIK.

If you find someone who does , please let me know.

You will need to Alt-Tab out of sh3, do your computations, and alt-tab in it again.

sry.

Thanks for a great mod, one question though. I downloaded the .exe version and the only parts i can move are the the two 'rotors' one with the red pointer and the one with the yellow boat, is this right. i'm not 100% sure but shouldn't the individual circles move aswell ? the same on the back to.

regards slipper

Good job, but the central wheel of the front side moves together with the pointer with a (yellow in your wheel) ship silhouette. Serves for indicating the true course of the ship's silhouette in the middle wheel.

Dertien - your tool will greatly help me in learning process of using the wheel. Thank you very much for your programme.

Starting to RTFM...

Howdy Dertien,

Just to let you know that I dl your wonderous WW and to thank you for adding this to Subsim community. Great Job.

Thank you! I really like using all kinds of circular and linear slide rules for combat sims... and that's one big shot ahead!

Immersion is not a crime!

The version above has severe problems with the accuracy.
Only two examples: reciprocal side of 341.0° should be 161.0° and not 160.1°.


Reciprocal side of 090.0° should be 270.0° and not 270.4°

Is there actually an improved version of the stand-alone Attack Disc?

[complutum]

This is a request to the creator of the stand alone exe. could you please make a version that works on android devices?. Thx in advance.

Angriffsscheibe Handbuch 3 (Attack disc manual)

aka "Whizz Wheel" or once as the "Is-Was Attacking Instrument", developed by Captain Nasmith, later Admiral Sir Martin Eric Dunbar-Nasmith. Call it what you will, it's all basically the same and usable for SH4 as well as for every other Naval Sim firing with torpedoes at something.

And for all ol' new and new ol' sailors in SH3 or 4 being at a loss in view of this greatly animated Whizz Wheel, there's a downloadable PDF manual by Kapitänleutnant (Kaleu/Lieutenant/Cpt) Hähl of March, 2008 around, so for almost 15 years. Almost. Time flies.

Have fun with it.
