Do you have the Position Keeper turned off?

Can you describe exactly how you are entering your data? Perhaps we can help you identify any problems there.

I don't run RFB, so I can't say for sure if it modifies the attack map. You can verify your solution on the periscope screen, though. The bottom dial on the Position Keeper on the left hand side is the torpedo gyro angle. You can hover the mouse over it and get the gyro angle. It should be 0 degrees, or within a few degrees of 0; also, it should be holding steady, not moving at all.

It was from one of the techs support guys in our call center. He'd just got off of a rather long call, and we worked late evening shift, so blowing off steam by shouting across the room was done quite often, and we didn't have to worry about management bothering us.
