Calculating Range in Rough Weather

CaptainNemo12 · 12-31-06, 03:55 PM

Recently, I almost lost all faith in the 3 min 15 sec method...

The problem is, range always plays a role in determining speed, and calculating range during rough weather conditions can be a real pain in the ass if you know what I mean. To maximize realism, I have the stabilize view turned off, with the boat rising and falling almost constantly, it's almost impossible to get an accurate reading! Plus, by the time I do get the stadimeter to line up with the waterline, a lot of time has just been wasted! Is there another method out there that can be used to calculate speed without trying to figure out range?

Thanks.
