@Hitman, Because when you make a course change, all you have to do is rotate the outer dial to the new location.

If it were fixed, you'd have to rotate both the middle and inner dials to keep the target on its correct course.
Rgr that, good idea

Couple of ways to use this.

1. A laptop it should run on just about any laptop
2. A second monitor/dual display (this is my choice)
3. Shell out of SH and run this in the background the footprint is tiney.
Another good option I like a lot in my 4:3 monitor is to run teh game in windowed mode and 16:9 aspect ratio, thus having all upper part of the screen covered by the game as normal, but then 1/4 of it under the game window free with direct access to desktop. I can then place there many other tools like this one or the SH1 programs like intercept calculator, etc. and operate them easily

I'd also like to point out that this tool is actually more beneficial to the U-Boat skipper.. as the American TDC already has alot of the info you can gather from this tool built into it arleady. Such as determining which relative bearing/true heading to turn onto to be perpindicular.. and estimating a targets true course from a given AOB.

But....

In-game its small and hard to read at times, and has annoying torpedo track arrows covering up what you're trying to read. So it's still useful to use regardless.
