Did you choose your name based on your nationality?

Anyway, bearing... there are two types of bearings, there are the Absolute bearings, which is which direction on the map the target is in (0 is north, but I believe magnetic north varies a bit), and there is the relative bearing, which is relative to your course. The places where you have binoculars available, said binocs will provide relative bearings, but other than that, DW operates with absolute bearings.

You can make your own training missions, or use some that others have made, if you need to.

TMA is a hard thing to learn. It's why one usually leaves it to the autocrew until one has learned the rest of the stations. Many never learn to do it manually at all. One tip I can give you right now is that it's a gigo process - garbage in, garbage out. Without proper data you won't get it correct except by sheer luck.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask. If you want tutoring missions for some platform, also feel free to ask.
