Good luck with all of that. I hope you figure out what the sticking point is because the games worth the effort. And keep posting on the forum

PS. DEMON is telling you the speed of your target. Once you've worked out (and sometimes it takes an educated guess) what the identity of the platform is on the Narrowband sonar system, you look it up on the USNI Reference and find the T.P.K (turns per knot) figure which is usually near the top of the platform description. On Demon on the 688i, where it says Turns Per Knot, enter the figure you got from the USNI reference and then move the curser on the display to the middle of the first vertical stripe on the left. The figure in the bottom right then gives you the speed of the platform in knots. If you then go to TMA you can put in the speed in knots for the platform as one of the figures you need for a firing solution and lock that part of the solution (push the button next to knots on TMA). That makes it easier to figure out an accurate firing solution
