Great stuff Nodlew.  (Need to get my own manual done  )

Thanks. This one can serve as a stop-gap until yours is complete. I'm sure compared to your finished version mine will look like the doodle of a neanderthal (and not one of the gifted, cave-wall artists either, but a neanderthal of no particular ability or grasp of the aesthetic).
Reading through it, I have seen some things I wish I could fix. I should have said "add to Zero" rather than subtract from it for AOB on an approaching ship (though in context, with the pictures there should be little confusion. You can't actually subtract from Zero given the configuration of the dial anyway)
In the disclaimer, I should have said Cameras.cam file--don't know where I got .dat from.
I misspelled Cimarron. On impulse I looked up the Cimarron on Wikipedia and it turns out the actual length of a Cimarron class tanker should be 169m. So at the very end, discussing the inaccuracies of the recognition manual I should have said "closer to 200m" rather than "almost 200m" if I were to trust that the devs got the model size historically right, which I'm not sure I do. The mission editor will not allow me to conveniently place two ships directly side by side. When I feel like it, I'll use my markings file as a yard-stick, since it absolutely is correct with ships of proven length, like the Hog Island, Liberty, and Victory freighters and find out exactly how long the Cimarron is in-game. I'll provide the information.
Anyway, the thing was done a bit slap-dash. As such, it's relatively error free. I could certainly stand to learn more about polishing my screen-shots and making them pretty.
Note--at present, for me, anyway, my Mediafire links are down. If the problem isn't corrected in a very few hours I'll post the files to Filefront or somewhere.
My mediafire account is still down. The files can be downloaded from Filefront at the following links:
