It's not a bearing, but a bearing+range, if you will. By intersecting that with the actual 4'th bearing, you get the position. Or did I misunderstand the whole concept? So far, I've never had it overlapping the 4'th bearing. It did come close on some tries, but still far enough to allow a good solution.

yes Kara ,i am sure ! in fact it is... proved ! yes ,'red line' is a geometrical locul and this geometrical locul is (as Kuikueg showed) a straight line. now, your fourth bearing is a straight line also and i am telling you that if you don't change course and speed during your time intervals these two lines will be the SAME line.
i will send you the prove of this at your pms.
if not...then it is a fault at your map drawings or caused becuased of inaccuracies of silent hunter.
send me the mission you played to give it a try and i will tell you my results
