Calculating Range in Rough Weather

Unfortunatlely, Dimitrius07's technique only works when you are 90 degrees from the target.

I use the "Assisted Plotting Mod". The target is on the map only if my cursor is over it. So I can still be surprised by DD's I may not have spotted. Just mark on the plot where the target is and start a watch. 1, 2, 3, or 3:15 later mark again (whatever time you like) and measure. Easy math. Now you have the speed.

I like this "Assisted Plotting Mod" in NYGM because it is a fine balance of having me do work and still have help from a "crew".
