I have been finishing my application for computing a torpedo firing solution (allows one to manually compute a solution without the TDC). At least I hoped I was close to finishing it. When I recomputed the numbers for a particular set-up that seemed poor, I got a different answer. Going over and re-computing the whole thing over several days I found that I could not replicate the error. That is until I tried to recalculate with SH4 running.

I did 5 short missions. Out of the 5, every one had an error. This was only clear after I shut down the game and recalculated with the same data. In two of the cases, there was an error in the sketch that was easily noticed, but for the most part, the numbers while in error, were not random gibberish.

Anyway, this was a very unwelcome surprise to me. Is there anyone that can shed some light on this?
