Intercept course:

v_e = own speed
v_g = target speed
alpha = angle between target's course and target's relative bearing
beta = angle between target's relative bearing and intercept course

asin((v_g / v_e) * sin(alpha)) = beta
  1. Go to map (F5)
  2. Plot target's course with ruler
  3. Measure angle alpha with protractor by clicking first on target's course, then on target, then on your own position -> alpha
  4. Calculate beta with above formula
  5. Select protractor, click on target, then on your own position, open angle until it's equal to beta
  6. Follow this course to intercept target
