True. That's why I do it on my own, and have a check. :-)

That allows the ffg to compare the solution bearing rate with the sensor bearing rate - though the player needs to remember that they are measured from slightly different points - at and behind the ship.
It's the same idea as what I do, only I do it by hand.

When I start playing with my Ekelund ranging, I don't even look at the TMA screen, I do it entirely from the spherical array display. Then I go back to the TMA screen and decide what to make of it.
