Now when you drag the Mouse on the wheel the wheel is not always jumping to the new point.

If you don't mind i will put my hand also on the Attack Disk. May be i can get them work as we want them.

[Dial81]
Name=RAOBF_AOB
Type=42; DIAL_TGT_ANG_ON_BOW
Cmd=Set_tgt_sel_value
Dial=0x3B210002
CrtVal=0x3B210006
NewVal=0x0
DialVal=0,360
RealVal=0,360; degrees
RelativeDrag=Yes
Circular=Yes
CmdOnDrag=Yes

Kind regards and thank you for your great work.

DrJones

Don't mind at all

@TDW: Does DrJones' post mean that there's some progress as to draggable/key'able AD/tools or unlocking AD from TDC?

He doesn't. The Sleep of TDW Produces Delays.

finally found the right combination to unlock the bearing from the AOB dials....partly thanks to DrJones's input

I'll be releasing a patch here soon

This will allow the AD to operate as independent discs.

Very, very good news. Thanks gentlemen (DrJones and TDW), oh yes, thanks.

Does it also change your answer from the TEC thread regarding the slipstick tool (1 base element + elements moving horizontally to base element, independently of each other)?

I'll have to go back and look at that.

Now before I release a patch for the AD, do I need to unlink the front side's compass rose from the current sub's heading and assign it to keys instead? I heard some people complaining that they can't rotate it because it's locked to the current sub's heading.

The front side's inner disc (bearing and lead angle) doesn't 'jump' anymore either due to adding the relative drag command to it (thanks for the input DrJones!)

IMO unlinking it has both pros and cons. But I'd say - take a chance and unlink it, we'll test it and if that doesn't work well, we'll certainly let you know.

That would be great, if you succeed.

Yes, the compass rose of the front side has to be locked to the current course of the sub.

Also the back side of the attack disk, the circular sliderrule, has the outer ring to be moveable.

already fixed. They are now unlinked. You still have to enable TDC manual input but the AD AOB is no longer linked to the bearing and lead angle disc.

any particular reason why the compass rose has to be linked to the current course of the sub? Wouldn't that decrease some functionality of the front side of the AD?

I need to make the outer ring of the back side moveable also?

Fantastic !!!

Maybe, before to publish the patch, have a look on my private messages. Perhaps, you will be able to also solve the Speech & Contacts problems already with this patch ?

IMO it's a wrong idea. Like with any slide rule, it's just more user friendly when the base stays in the same position all the time. Having it move would not increase accuracy/functionality of the back-sede, but it would definitely increase difficulty of learning/using it.

well there's two sides to this. It can be moveable but requires keys to do so and thus wouldn't move unless you used the right key combination. This allows those to move it that want to and allows it to be fixed for those that want it fixed. I'm going to enable it to be movable by the key combination of Ctrl + heading bar keys (default Q and E). Adding shift to the key combination will increase the rotation rate.

The front side compass rose has been unlinked from the sub's current heading. It requires the key combination of Ctrl + heading bar keys (default Q & E) to rotate it. Adding shift to the key combination will increase the rotation rate.
