Scurvy, will you stop?! I don't really care, if the measuring or whatever is accurate! I only care if i hit the ship or not, let's not make this so difficult! PLEASE!

I think what the Capn is trying to tell us, is that you can't expect to hit the target very well, if the measuring is not accurate.

To be sure that the point is clear, I'll restate it another way: The speed formula does not require *apparent length* (which is what the fov issue fouls up) but requires *true length* instead.

Unless I'm not understanding CapnScurvy's postings, he is saying that:
the historical length
the game image length
the recognition manual length

are all different (at least in some cases). This makes common sense assumptions about math and manual targeting hazardous.

Holy crap that's awesome. Told chatGPT to turn it into a spreadsheet, add a "Type" column, (in which a few corrections were required), and convert the dimensions into feet...

Does MaxOptics, GFO or any of the mods in the Berbster's package fix the issues discussed here? Or do I need to install OTC?

From the GFO readme: "Ship data was accurately calibrated so that ships can be more accurately targeted now"

Is that it?
