SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Determining course of contact that is "smoke on the horizon"

Finally got Steel Wolves and SH5 working on my rig. Now this mod has NO map contacts, and this is proving troublesome when it comes to contacts that are "smoke on the horizon". I try to plot the position, but of course all I have is bearing. Now, I have clicked on the WO's report, and that gives a range....this is nothing less than cheating. Also it seems the mod has made this unreliable. I had a contact go from 18KM to 7 in less than a minute (it was a boat, not a plane). When I got multiple reports and plots, the course of the contact was.....ludicrous. I searched here for good tutorials on plotting contacts with no map up dates, but could only find ones with updates, and were for older versions of Sh. Could someone help, or at least point me in the direction for a tutorial, or what have you concerning tracking distant contacts.
