Move the time it took in seconds (36) middle ring outside - to the ship lenght (147m) on the outside ring.
Read speed on middle inside ring at the red marker

Ship scaling is wrong in SH5. If you read the .cfg files, you will see that a Liberty class is longer than a mighty tanker:

[Unit]
ClassName=KL/LL (aka Liberty cargo))
...
Length=147

[Unit]
ClassName=T3Cimmaron
....
Length=139.6

is this pertinent to the problem in hand, though?

Dunno, was just a heads up regarding the wrong ship scaling in SH5, so dont trust in the readings from the recon manual. I'm not using raofb or any UI mod, only stadimeter and chrono.. I love 2 keep things simple and effective.

well the raobf is simple and effective, once calibrated correctly, and once u know how to use it.

but importantly, are you saying the recog manual is inaccurate? ifso, have no major mods addressed this?

I will test this.

Yep, I figured this out a long time ago when I was practicing this simple manual tdc tutorial, the "ships length divided by how many seconds it took to pass the scope vertical line" method. Looking in the recon manual I realized that the ships lengths are very wrong. So this method will not work in SH5, better results with the 3.15 rule if your game is not lagging. As far as I know, there is no mod/fix for the wrong scaling.

There is something wrong here with lenght as Magnum has said.

I will make a mission with the all side by side so I can check further.
looks like the RM may be wrong with some ships.

Also, the updated scales I made for RAOBF is for use with "MRP 1.3"

I am having probs with MRP 1.3 and the obs scope so I have switch to
NewUIs_TDC_6_2_0_emtguf_rework_scopes
This scope is very good - it has a larger viewing area

My new scale will not work with it

I will make new ones for this
