I've been reading this thread, scratching my head trying to figure out where our friend is going wrong. I'm useing the same combo (RFB+RSRD), and regularly use the DO method with success. The most important piece of info with this method IMO is target speed. Getting this wrong will kill your setup. Reading along though, it seems you've tracked the convoy pretty accurately, and are confident with your figures.

I know you mention that you've watched RR's video a bunch of times, but then you say you entered the AOB as the first piece of info into the TDC. IIRC, RR enters the target speed first, AOB second, and range last. Speeking of range, are you "dragging" the small plastic triangle on the range dial down to it's maximum before entering the range by clicking twice? You seem like you know what you're doing, so please forgive my basic questions. Like I said, I'm useing the same mod combo, and DO works like a charm. I don't think this is either a RFB or even more so, a RSRD issue. RSRD only changes shipping routes to historical values. I would try to contact RR, or hopefully he sees this thread and chimes in. I believe this is a simple case of overlooking something simple.
