Arma 2 Altimeter Watch - A WIP Project

[=VG= SemlerPDX]

For HALO ParaJumping:
I need an altimeter. I guess I'm just not "hardcore"...lol

So... it seems it's not quite so hard to use C++ and GIMP (thanks to Iffn for the tip!) to define a new custom image with a variable text box to display data, in this case, player posATL (altitude above terrain level) and to display that resource during a HALO jump for instance.

Personally, I need something like this - at the very least, a text output of my Altitude while I'm falling from the sky. It's no big deal to make a hint format to display that in text, I've done it before in the CLAfghan Mission, but where's the fun in that??
I think this will be very cool to have an actual OpsGear Suunto Altimeter Watch to display the data like every other piece of equipment we have in Arma and in ACE.

Should be done by tomorrow or Sunday....
!cheers

(if this gives anyone ideas for any other system, let me know - this is not too difficult to create...)

Okay, this is uncanny - I pressed shift-k ingame, and the exact same watch (not the above model, but one with bearings that I decided not to use) is THE VERY SAME watch already integrated into ACE! OMG!

Well, scrap that project - it's already done. Great minds stink alike... !lol
