you still dont get it

read the part in bold again.

If you are moving, you need to figure out where you will be on the in-game map in the future and draw the predicted bearing from THAT location. otherwise your triangulation will be wrong.


Anyway, the pdf pisces posted is the direciton im probbly gonna head with this.

input your 1st course and speed... grab three bearings.
Input your second course and speed... grab another three bearings.

It then tells you the targets true course and speed.. .and the distance along the last bearing he was.

So all you'll need to do is draw out the last bearing from you to the distance it gives you... then move the other end of it in the direction the target is going and you're good to go.
