I know how to use it normally.

What I'm saying is that when the ship is too far away and I hit the checkbox, nothing happens. My crosshair is pointed right at the ship, but hitting the checkbox is fruitless until the program decides he's close enough to take a range

I want to override that "feature" and force it to let me send data to the TDC regardless of where my scope is pointed or what the program thinks I should be able to see.

It's an unnecessary restriction that kills the realism. I should be able to point it at a life-raft and enter an aircraft carrier's mast height into the TDC without restriction, and I should be able to use the stadimeter whenever I want, not just when the game gives me permission.
