Calculating AOB with OLC Gold

BenG · 05-25-09, 02:08 PM

Preface: I was previously using GWX 2 and an "earlier" version of OLC GUI. (I can't remeber which version but the graduations horizontal graduations went 0 - 5 - 10 - 15 - 20).
I've now done a Fresh Install of SH3, GWX 3 Gold, Sh3 Commander & OLC GUI Gold.

The Problem: Now the graduations have gone to 0-10-20-30-40 I can't seem to calcute AOB.
In the following example:

•I've measured the range (using both the OLC scope wheel thing and with Map Contacts enabled). I make it 1,500 metres.
•I've aligned 1,500 (15) on the outer-part of the middle ring with the ships length (140.5m) on the Outer Ring.
•In the above example the ship is at approximately 26 horizontal marks.
•Now (this is the problem) 26 on the inner-part of the middle ring is well past 90 (°) on the Inner Ring??????

My Question(s)
1 - Am I doing anything wrong?
2 - Is there anything else I need to do to calculate the AOB (e.g. Halve anything or double anything).
