Hi Hitman,

as you know bearing & own course & AOB determines target course. You have access to all three variables, however, I know only a method for showing a variable that depends on two variables. To circumvent the problem you have to set the bearing to 0 when you enter the course (you could also have a dial with different bearings, but in this case the dial is too cluttered).

It's not a perfect solution, but it works fine for me. As I said, you just have to set bearing=0 before you enter the course. If you are interested in more details I can send you the menu.ini and dials.cfg. IIRC, the real German TDC did not offer the possibility to enter the target course, did it?

Cheers, LGN1
