Using the simple formula Speedx100= distance (in yards) travelled in 3
minutes, we know that this means a speed of 10.8 knots (Knock off the last
two ciphers and you have the speed)..... ecc ecc.....
because the tutorial was made for SH4 and distances are in yards and not in metric (kilometers) as we have in SH3.
My only doubt is the final formula can be applied as the same in kilometers?
For the rest no problem at all.

hello TOY,
no you can't use the same formula with km
for getting the speed :
Speed = 1.944 * ( d / t)
where
d=distance in meters and
t=time in seconds
