When using the stadimeter, are you placing the waterline of the image of the ship at the top of its highest mast?
Yes just as in Fincuan's tutorial shows, ships waterline overlay image on the top mast of the correctly identified ship.

Do you have the position keeper off while making your two observations?
Definitely, the red light is not on, I only set it on after the speed is calculated.

Are you at battlestations?
Probably not, only set for silent running, I'm too used to SH3, there this is not an option, would this make a difference? I'll give it a try, can someone tell me the hot key please - too lazy to look it up!

Oh, one more thing. The Estimate Speed button didn't even work until patch 1.3, so ignore the manual. The way you are doing it is correct except for some small issue.
Thanks, I'll ignore it.

I think there is something wrong with the school . It works in campaign though .
I'd like to think that but Fincuan's tutorial even shows the correct speed, maybe I should calculate it a couple of times & get the overall before turning the TDC on.

Gee I even sound like I know what I'm talking about!! .....
