If you take your first stadimeter reading before getting a target ID, and your second reading after getting a target ID, you'll be lucky if you get an accurate target (tgt) heading and/or speed. Namely because your second plot will be fairly accurate but your first plot will probably be way off ... unless the default mast height just happens to correspond with your target's actual mast height.

This mod changes the way the TDC dials work ... it disables some of the original functions and adds new ones. Some of the newer options aren't actually necessary ... and might be the reason Warhawk sees his TDC resetting to zero when PK is enabled. Additional tests might be necessary to determine if the original mod (AOB fix) causes the PK problem ... or if it's one of the later add-ons.
