Ruler with a Bearing Compass...

sixcoins · 09-03-12, 10:24 AM

I've seen a lot of tutorial videos, and they always seem to have a compass on their ruler.... so they can always see what bearing line they are drawing...

I cannot see that. I have to use a protractor see a bearing, then I have to mark that location, then erase the protractor, then draw a line from my u-boat to the mark I previously drew..

And I have to do that for every line I make (if it's a long range line).

This is time consuming and not a little bit frustrating.

I can't find any such setting in SHIII.

How do I get that compass at the end of my ruler line?

Thanks in advance.

Six.

Pisces just made a small, convenient mod to take care of that problem:

It is actually already 4 years old. It was stored on Gamefront, and the homepage with my former ISP. But both places ended to be.
