Nope, I believe the problem is scaling due to differences in screen resolution. If I remember correctly (odds probably around -10%:rotfl: ) an image that works correctly at 1024x768 won't scale correctly at 1680x1050 and vicey-versey. Nothing the 3000 yard tool does could influence the metric since they are two totally seperate textures. I gave up long ago on the distance measuring aspect of the tools and just use the angle measuring aspect. Since I have difficulty seeing very well (yeah, I know, I should put my glasses on, but the tri-focals get in the way) it helps a lot to know which way to point the periscope to find a sound contact.
Edit: please note that I got sidetracked while posting this and am not just an echo:rotfl: (slow maybe
