I know this is a Major thread-necro but i thought making a new topic was not needed either.

I have made one of hitman's wheels and am trying to use it but i can't really seem to figure out (even after reading almost all the previous posts on here) how this thing is supposed to give targets course.

I've only made this to know what the targets course is, that will help me enough to line up 90 degree shots. but how do i do it?

as im doing it now:
-hold the wheel 180 facing up where the little arrow is too
-I turn the inner (yellow second to largest) wheel to the bearing my nose is pointing at. (with the outside numbers)
-After that i turn the big long pointer at the bearing i last spotted the ship at from my position, i use the numbrs on the biggest brown disk for this
-Then to finish up i turn the 'lage' red/green wheel so that the green and red arrow line up with the long pointer.

-i then take my course from the inner second to largest yellow wheel, using the inside numbers

I get really odd readings on what course he must be having, that are totally off (tested). i must be doing something horribly wrong but i can't seem to understand what.

Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!
