I hope you meant that in the context that like the ship's course, the AOB can be manually entered by manipulating the controls.

I hope you are not claiming that AOB is the ship's course

Yes and no, it's the course relative to you. What makes the easy AOB mod good. Get two good stad measurements, get speed and course. You can spin the AOB wheel until it matches the course in the TDC on your left, then you have a perfect AOB.

That make better sense....

I did not read Armistead's post to suggest what you are implying.

Here explains how the ships course is his AOB.

A US ship so got perfect stad measurments, after two, I click for his speed, you can read the top where it states his speed and course, 8 kt's, course is 327, that is his true course. Now look at the AOB setting left top wheel. I spun the right AOB wheel until his AOB on the left top PK wheel matched his course, 327....perfect AOB. So for AOB you just set the wheel to match his course.

Hard to see, but you can see I've drawn his true course, read the course on the tool and it reads roughly 327.

So you set the AOB to his course, not that it is his course, you can see his obvious course is about 327 on the map.
That clear it up.
