Default TMO Range Triangle

I'm sure this has been covered, so sorry if I reposted, but I can't seem to find it. The Dick O'Kane targeting method described by Rockin' Robbins talks of moving the Range Triangle of the TDC to its furthest point. I am running TMO 2.5, Office Poster Fix, Historic Flags Mod, Improved Stock Environment, and 24 Hour Clocks. I can't get the TDC Range Triangle to move. Only the inner circle. Is this because of mod soup or does TMO 2.5 eliminate the ability to move the TDC Range Triangle? I understand that range isn't important in the Dick O'Kane method, I ask about it because I want to make sure that my sim is running and working correctly.

Moving the inner circle works fine for me. It shouldn't matter what you move it to --- any range you set will work fine.

Thank you for the quick reply, MKalafatas. I appreciate that. I was wondering though, if the range triangle is supposed to remain stationary and unable to move it using TMO 2.5 or if it is just my mod soup causing that little triangle to not move. But any range works fine! I'll write that down on my cheat sheet card (Thanks for those, Rockin' Robbins!)

Good question and I don't know the answer. Mine is like yours; I can move only the inner circle, not the range pointer.

You know what I oughta do? I should make a cheat sheet card for conventional position keeper targeting! Why didn't I ever think of that?

That's actually not a bad idea. I have your other cheat sheets. The O'Kane, Cromwell, and vector analysis.
