Yeah, 200 yards would be acceptable, even though that's a lot worse than the real radar. Actually the real radar position is even more accurate than our automatically plotted nav map position because of the resolution of a one pixel difference in plot location. For our purposes, the best solution is just to plot the radar position on the chart.
Wouldn't it be great to greatly expand our options? Plot or don't plot radar positions. Plot or don't plot visual positions. Plot or don't plot active sonar positions. Plot or don't plot sonar bearings. Use or don't use friend/foe/neutral colors. Use or don't use text descriptions. Introduce or don't introduce realistic uncertainty in radar range. Introduce or don't introduce realistic uncertainty in visual range.
Why do we already have uncertainty in sonar range????? That's strange considering other choices the devs made.
I think success in a simulator is based on configurability so that learning is easy, but you can ramp up some truly realistic settings when you want them and have the skill to carry it off.
Ubi: MORE OPTIONS!!!
