ELT
The ELT is fairly simple. Turn it on and it plots distance rings for every ELT ping that is detected. Observing where the rings are overlapping as you traverse the area will tell you where the target is.

The results can be skewed if traveling at very high speeds (50-100 knots for instance). I would recommend a search speed in the 10-20 knot range for the ELT rings to form a solution for the target location.

On July 2, 2021 it was pointed out to me that the red ELT plotter rings were originating from the topleft or 0,0 position of the display instead of the center. I corrected the bug and a new version is now available.

However, I also realize for folks that have this installed, it might be a pain to redownload and reattach everything in your vessel.

The edit is relatively simple in the LUA code, so if you want to just make the easy LUA edit in your craft to fix the ELT proceed as follows:

Open the red-colored ELT logic block for editing and select the LUA code module. Inside the LUA code look for the following function:

function add(meters,tbl) local u={} u.name=#tbl u.pos={x=0,y=0} u.p1={x=0,y=0} u.meters=meters u.radius=0 tbl[#tbl+1]=u wXY(tbl[#tbl]) end


In the code above, change this line:
u.p1={x=0,y=0}

To this:
u.p1={x=w/2,y=h/2}

...and your ELT should plot from the center of the display instead of 0,0 (topleft). :steamthumbsup:

I will add to this to help our fellow users out.

Line 25 is the location in the LUA Script block.

If you cant type it properly or messed it up (I got weird lag doing it manually, I think I messed up) what you can do is this:
- Select the ELT Triangulation Plotter from the example.
- Open it in the MC editor and save it.
- Go to your ship and select yours and open it in the MC editor.
- Select and load the new version and click update.
- Check connections.
- Success!

This advice also applies to other MC's and etc if this updates incase you haven't added the version with the keypad input to your ship. Sometimes it keeps your old connections and other times it removes them all, it's random.
