Ok i've been constructing some "protractor" tools and mods this afternoon, but couldn't come up with a decent solution, so I added the LineExt.dat tool that is already there to the CompassExt.dat so that I have two 'compasses' to draw with.
so pressing either of those
will get me twice the same instrument:
Why would I want twice the same instrument on two different buttons would you say: here's the answer:
If you plot the speed of a target using Wazoo's excellent method found found
here
you will notice that when trying to draw the second leg after your 3'15'' sighting you drag your initial point off place, and you can start over again.
Since I got rid of the 1500m bearing overlay that normally gave away my position with manual navigation, I needed the first drawing to stay on the map, while I draw the second one. So I use one of both tools to draw the first sighting, and the other tool for the second sighting after 3'15'', and voila, they do not interfere with each other and I can get as accurate as I wish.
I might have found a way to more or less accurately measure the distance. I'll be back later with the result.
Keeping you Manual Navigators posted
