Do know what the name of the mod that corrects the range issue is?

I've also used the sonar ping method, but also found that faulty on occasion. The way I do it is time how long the ship takes to cross the 0 bearing line of the scope, and calculate speed useing the ship's length. There are lists out there which provide the lengths of in game ships. Of course you need to ID the ship, a challange to say the least on a pitch dark night, but it works like a charm
