My last balsa/ply model cost me over $250 while my last foam board plane cost me under $50. I really love foam board, it has reduced the cost of building a new plane. You should give that DeltaCad a try if you plan to do more wheels! This conversion is the 1st thing I've ever done with it aside from printing out Kim Ronhof's SH1 wheels, and it took less than 1 hour to learn everything I needed to know to get the job done.I am a retired/disabled electronic engineer with a limited income, but I don’t let that stop me from designing and building RC. I found that if I didn't reduce the font size a lot, the numbers were running together so you couldn't tell 'em apart! Biggest difference is, I went progressively much smaller than you did on the font size in the 32 - 45 degree range on the middle wheel to keep a little spacing between the numbers. Finally realized that I'd never find the exact font you used so I settled for Ariel Bold, and messed with the size until it was as close as possible to yours. Tried as hard as I could to keep it faithful to your original in every way, even worrying about font sizes and typeface. I managed to keep the yellow color in there, didn't I Maybe a slightly different shade but it's still there and still yellow! Only thing I´m afraid of is that it will lose the yellow color, right? Well never mind. For teh AOB it is not that necessary, but it increases greatly the usability Good idea for the use of the general purpose wiz wheel use. But I've not installed the associated "Ship Dimension Fix" mod - would that affect anything? In other words, I'm using the stock ship dimensions, but calculating aspect from length/height given in the above recog manual. Just wondering if it works at both zooms, or only one?Ģ) Calculating aspect ratio - only thing I have to go on is the SH4_Japan_Recog_Manual_v3.1_IMP.pdf I downloaded from here not long ago. Though I'm pausing game and carefully counting the marks in the scope.ġ) Is the wheel designed to use with a particular zoom level? The cruiser is around 1500 yds, I can see the whole ship at low mag and get the length, but at high mag I can't get the length since bow and stern aren't visible. I'm testing it with the Sub School torpedo mission against the Mogami cruiser, and manual targetting off so I can hover mouse over the TDC and get the "true" AOB.īut my AOB from the wheel are coming out anywhere from 3 - 10 degrees off compared to the TDC's AOB :hmm: This is probably due just to my inexperience with the wheel. Hitman, I've got the CAD version "done", printed it out on plain computer paper and pinned it together with a bent piece of paper clip just to test before I go for the expensive card stock and laminating. That way the user could print 1 sheet of cursors and use the cursor with the least bubbles. Since you're lining up a mark on the inner wheel with another on the outer wheel, I think a clear cursor would be in order to make it easier - every slide rule needs a cursor, right? I'd make a sheet with about 6 cursors on it, I've found that transparencies tend to get bubbles when laminated. There is one minor "improvement" I'd like to make if that's OK. Whole thing should be <200k uncompressed I think. Well, actually I'd rather you put it in with your download, that way guys can get it all in one download and pick the format they like best. ![]() I'd like to send you a copy for your review and approval (assuming it actuallly works) before I release it. All I'm doing is to trace your work, and my head is throbbing and my eyes about to drop out of their sockets from drawing all those tic-marks and circles and construction lines :rotfl: May I ask, what prog did you use to make the wheel? You've got patience my friend, to design something like that. Heavy card-stock with heavy laminate, it should turn out as good as Kim Ronhof's wheels (which look like they were made by a slide-rule company!) ![]() ![]() Thanks Hitman, hard at work at the conversion and it's looking pretty good so far! I should have it done and built by Sat, then I'll test it out. The more stuff is available the better for everyone! So do them and please please share Go do them, and of course please distribute them or do whatever you prefer I make these things to show my gratitude for all the stuff others have done that I'm enjoying. ![]()
