Go to your local school supply store get a sheet of dry erase paper (like for overhead projectors), markers, some scotch tape, a protractor, and a calculator.  |

TL - That 'strips' clever but irritating. That strobe stuff should carry a health warning.
Are you on commission ? - What next Macs and Coke ? ...................Heck if it catches on this site will look like Vegas.
It even makes Kapitans look subtle ! 
Sorry its a 'No' vote here - big time. :down:  :hulk: |

Playing devil's advocate here:
So this is exactly what the skipper of a SSN uses to plot course resolutions, etc.? There should be a protractor, etc. built into the map that you can pull up to measure and estimate bearings with. Sorry, but that is how I feel about it. I've had SC for a long time and having to place a protractor on my screen when I want to estimate something gets really old, really fast. It works, but.... |

Don't pay to much attention on Bellman, Sir. He is able and willing to make your head explode. |

You obviously missed TLs pyrotecnics - they made the eyeballs melt.
Heads are difficult to explode - you can sap them psychologicaly to cause an implosion, I'm told,
and you can inflate them with crap.
The trouble with the 'R' routine is you get a radius but you cant draw a line in Nav that sticks. In MD yes NP.
Wish SAS would give us more drawing aids - I am working on a system which needs more Nav symbols
there are limited ways that you can combine the existing elements, but it can be done.....just ! |

Of course I do.  What I was inquiring about was the MUCH more sophisticated tools that are available in-game on SH3. I really abhor the idea of drawing on my monitor, even with dry-erase pens.
The ruler in SH3...well...rules. |
