Hi,

I have a question for the menu.ini experts. I play full real and I was thinking about making it more easy to plot contacts. I am a little bit tired of drawing/plotting everything by myself

Normally, you would just measure the distance and report it together with the bearing to someone else who then would plot the contact. My idea now is to use the torpedo line from the attack map to plot the contact faster, i.e., I measure the distance, enter it into the TDC (choose target speed 0 knots) and have a nice line on the attack map that ends at the contact. Now I can easily and quickly mark the location.

The problem is that I don't have any drawing tools on the attack map. So, is it possible to make the torpedo line also visible on the navigation map? I think that would be more easy than adding the drawing tools to the attack map.

I would be very happy for any comments,

cheers, LGN1
