In SH4 you can also set manually the wished heigth in the circular dial by dragging the transparent triangle and not use the recognition manual at all. I do it a lot to estimate distance based on funnels, bridge and kingposts instead of using mast  The heigth of those parts I calculate using rules of thumb: 8 feet for each deck, then use the decks as yardstick to approach the bridge or funnel heigth. Works usually well

I'm wondering how you do that..
When I don't select the appropriate vessel I can only get the dial to go as far as 1500yrds.
And even then when I've chosen the vessel its quite hard due to the 150yrds or so difference.
For example when you want to set the range at 2000yrds (that being your estimate of distance to the vessel) on the TDC the range will be less.. about 150yrds less... it will show 18xx and not the setting you've entered.
At least that's what I get, I always have to reset the dial one to two clicks further for it to be right.
