Simple Artillery Computer

Default Arma 3 artillery computer is not suitable for milsim-coop gameplay as its point&click nature seems to be way too unrealistic.
However playing with disabled artillery computer makes artillery support way slower, especially when manned by unexperienced player.
Here is where Simple Artillery Computer comes into play.

---

• To open computer, player must have Artillery Computer item in equipment (You can find it in "Items" tab in Arsenal).
  
• Press "P" or use ACE Self-Interaction to open dialog - button is changable in addon's control options under [Simple Artillery Computer].
  
• Select range to target - drop-down list on left, range is based on selected charge.
  
• Enter own position - Grid reference, at least xxx-yyy grid is required - center position of grid will be taken. Up to 10 digits grid reference is supported (1m precision)
  
• (Optional) If player has GPS or ACE Microdagr in equipment, it's possible to get own position through "GPS" button click.
  
• Enter target position - same as enter own position.
  
• (Optional) It's possible to select targeted keypad - by default it is a center of the grid.
  
• Click "Calculate" button - Computer will fill gun elevation, distance and direction to target along with time of flight. Elevation and direction is shown in mils [en.wikipedia.org]. If any of input parameters is not suitable, error message on chat will show up.

• Terrain elevation is taken into account during calculation. No need to manually add correction.
  
• All data - both input and output is saved on display closure.
