So then I tracked the target and watched as the generated bearing contunued to move toward zero as the targed crossed my bow. All was well until it hit zero degrees generated bearing... then the inner dial locked!

So to put a finer point on it, the inner dial is not capable of showing a bearing less than zero degrees....

Neil, if you have some channel to the developers, could you please pass this info on to them? This is a really *REALLY* subtle problem that they may not be aware of, yet is extremely important to us manual monkies, as I'm sure you'd agree.

Yes, I will. This is the kind of feature that the devs take seriously. They know they TDC and setting up firing solutions is the heart of the game. Great catch.
