Yep. Found it, but there's another problem.

This is the line...

[Cmd257]
Name=Report_time_to_turn
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F250002
Key0=0x47,s,"Shift+G"

Which the TM help file identifies as the right one, via the Shift+G;

Shift+G Maximum range at current speed
Ctrl+G Range to course end
G Time to course end

I had seen the "Time to turn" But thought that might literally be asking for "Time until next course change(turn)" like Sean Connery in Hunt for Red October. :rotfl:

So, here's the problem.

I set up the command line, attached it to "F", as in F for Fuel.

It works, but the Navigator responds " maximum Range at current speed is not available". So there's something else I'm missing. I was on the surface, moving at 11 knots for several hours (TC) when I hit the F.

Any ideas?
