I see you have fixed post 28. However, your black and white diagram is slightly misleading. Per a PM from gutted, heading and course are the same thing. Bearing, however, is what you see when you look out of the periscope, which I assume is 90 degrees in your wheel. Using his definitions, the target bearing is is 90 degrees. Agreed? You state in the opening sentence of the post it is the heading and on the diagram you say it is the course. According to gutted, 90 degrees is the target's bearing. Its course (or heading) is 270 degrees. Those corrections should be fixed or clarified. You should also make at a note at the very beginning to the effect that this post was corrected per post 330 by gutted, so you won't confuse readers of the thread. Other than that, I like it.

Here is gutted PM to me re course/heading and bearing:

"cousrse & heading are the same thing.

course is simply the direction you're heading.

see?

bearing on the other hand.. is the direction you're looking, not the direction you're going." (Bold and Italics supplied).

The terminology in the readme is what got me off on the wrong track. If gutted is correct, we should adopt his terminology.
