Actually never mind. I just spotted that there are a couple of ways to do it. I think I'm gonna let this one slide in the hope that the devs will pick it up in version 1.2. I'm worried that there's too much chance for screwing things up with this fix when 1.2 comes along.

Cool. I just put a together a merged menu.txt file for my own use if you want it for yourself or just for reference.

Also, can someone explain how to utilize the nomograph?

Sure. There are three lines: knots, nautical miles and minutes.

Finding how far your target will go in a certain time:
If you know your target's speed in knots you can find out how many nautical miles he'll go in say one and a half hours, by connecting a line between his speed and the 1 1/2 hour mark. Read where the line you drew crosses the distance line and you'll see how far he'll be at the time you specified.

Finding your target's speed in knots:
If you have marked his position on the map twice in a certain time period (say two hours apart) you can measure the distance, then draw a line through the distance and the time and connect it to the speed line and you'll find his speed.
