Yeah, I know....I'm going to have resort to a combination of Obs scope, Attack scope and manual inouts to get my hits in while I figure out the AOB wheel.

Is is possible to set the whole TDC to manual, input range, AOB and speed while locked onto the target? In other words, can we use your wonderful mod without the AOB wheel?

I really don't understand why you're so against the AOB wheel. It's a wonderful tool. Yes you can set the TDC while being locked on a target but if that target is fast, you'll end up with AOB error. If the target "travels" 20 degrees while you're setting your TDC, the AOB will be 20 degrees wrong. I suggest you persist with the AOBF, it's VERY simple once you get the hang of it. Try making some custom missions and place static ships at known distances and angles. That's how I tested the AOBF in the first place


BTW. my 1000'th post, it's only fair to write it here on this thread

Congrats!

I'm not against it, rather I'm terrible with lengthy procedures. I will keep at it.....

Practice makes perfect. It only takes me 20 seconds or so to get an AOB reading. It takes less than 10 seconds to calculate the range. Never try for perfect readings. One golden rule is that errors usually compensate eachother. That manual might be hard to follow I wish I had the time to make a movie, but my voice sucks
