You can 'steal' the nomograph graphic from 'TMO' or another mod and find the location where it belongs in the 'TMO' menu_1024_768.ini file, then make the edit to your menu_1024_768.ini file.

It would be better to make a copy of your menu_1024_768.ini file, and make the edit to it, and create your own small mod to install last, on top of any other mod's you are using.

There is an unused command that you can activate in SH4 that will tell you how far you can sail until you run out of fuel at whatever speed you are moving. I hooked mine up to a new button I made on the HUD bar, or you can just use an unused key combination.

I don't know what mods you are using, if any.

Edit:
Here is a link to a topic describing the nomograph installation procedure:

(I have copies of both metric & imperial nomographs if you want them)

Here is mine. SH4 reads *.dds & *.tga files interchangeably (it is calling for a *.tga file but accepts the *.dds graphic)

In menu_1024_768.ini
