Thanks for your reply.

I guess the question is, how does it know it's starting location?

Say for example, the Target is 20 degrees off the Bow at 2000 years, traveling 90 degrees across the power (perfect angle) at 7 knots.

Using the method I mention in the OP, I figure out the distance, direction and speed but not (that I can see) the targets actual location (20 degrees off the bow).

Does the TDC get this information from the direction the periscope is facing when I input the information?
