Measuring speed?

Have you tried clicking/moving the mouse on top of the target ship (while on the map)? I've seen on youtube that a small panel appears on the bottom right side... seems that shows current distance and speed of the target... and seems you can write a exact number on TDC to compensate a little bit.

Sure can, even in 100% realism you can hover over the minimap until you find the ship and it will tell you its range and speed precisely. Kind of lame but with map contact update off its easier for me to use the tools I have than to fumble around with the minimap.

Cool, I'll try taking multiple stadimeter readings. I don't know if it's a known bug or something I'm doing wrong but I'm not getting contacts updated on my map despite having set that realism setting. It's the only 'cheat' I checked. But I can't go back to see if I did the right one so maybe I missed the checkbox.

You can change campaign 'difficulty' settings by hitting the escape key while in the pen.
