Yes it can, but I don't think you'd want to run it on your computer. I've had lots of complaints with the larger resolution versions from gamers that say they get slow downs, and CTD's. The fact that the 1920x version of the scaled image measures in feet, rather than inches, takes a lot of computer horse power to render!
The problem that's rearing it's head more and more these days, are computers are getting ahead of the software that's running on them. SH4 was released almost 6 years ago. There's files in-game that date back to 2006. The point is since that time, we've had 5 major OS upgrades. Instead of thinking of a dream hard disc having 1 gig of memory; the norm is wanting a 5 terabyte, with no disc at all. AND, the dream of having 1 gig of ram memory has given way to needing a half a dozen. Don't get me started about the monitor change from analog CRT, to todays LCD! All since the game was released.
The game is hard pressed to support todays technology. That's why applications like the Large Address Aware are needed to make an older game function with the new stuff.
Making a mod that will give you an accurate range/bearing on the navmap for 3000 yards distance can be done. I just don't think it's practical.

I see. Well if you or someone either would be willing to make it or has already, I sure wouldn't mind at least trying it and would be greatly appreciative! Worst that happens is it doesn't work right?
Wow how rude of me. I almost forgot to mention thanks for the welcome!
