Yeah... assuming you're stationary. If you try to apply the same concept to a maneuvering board solution (ownship at center, even when moving), it results in a RM plot that needs to be converted to TM. It's not particularly difficult... just a fact.

...be easier in the game if you maybe had a sawtooth speed ruler gadget to use. I know modders can add gadgets to the game, don't know if they can add rotatable ones though. I s'pose it's easy enough to just hold up a paper one to the screen. You ever tried that?
