Roughly there are two nm per km.
I would never expect my math to be dead on after a long distance run, since weather should never be the same that long.
Time for trials, huh? This is the stuff I do when going out and returning home. No sense testing things under fire!!!   |
Very good point, I didn't take varying weather into consideration, but I'd be willing to bet it'll have a huge effect, especially strong wind. I'll have to do a couple very long range tests in different weather conditions to get a better idea of how much the high seas, and strong wind effect range.
Thanks Raymond6751
for the heads up about the weather, this sim is so realistic, sometimes I forget that the environment has such drastic effects.
Happy Hunting friends!!
