Problem with 3000 yrd bearing tool

I've tried adding the 3000 yrd bearing tool, and I cannot get the distance using the ruler tool to equal the values on the bearing tool.

I have tried the different horizontal resolution versions. I have tried different resolutions in the in-game options. After changing the resolution in the game, I exit to windows and restart the game. I have also changed the windows screen resolution (display properties, settings, resolution.)

I have v 1.5 of the game. I do have the Optical Targeting Correction Mod installed (that's the only other mod I am using), and I use JSGME to install the mods. The 3000 yd bearing tool is installed after OTC. I have only used 4:3 screen aspect ratios, so use the basic version of OTC.

I am not running a campaign yet, and have just tried the mod in the school scenarios and in single missions.

Running some tests I found that it does not appear to make a difference which version of the mod I install. For example if I set the game resolution to 1280x 960 no matter which version of the tool I install, the measuring ruler in the game gives a value of 1500 yrds instead of the 3000 yrds marked on the tool. If I have set 1024 horizontal resolution the ruler shows 1900 yrds instead of the 3000 yrds.

I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure it out. Do I have to uninstall both Mods (the tool and OTC) and then reinstall both at the same time (with OTC first in the list)?

I'd appreciate your help

Thanks
Tom
