After reading all this I feel a bit frustrated. I just got all the mods I wanted installed and it runs fine. Last night I printed out Wazzo's guide and then this! GREAT! Now I have something MORE to learn! However it's a good kind of frustrated.
All this info mixed with GW will make it a brand new game for me. Yippy Cayay!
EDIT. I just copied the Nav chart to a text file. Is there a similar one which explains what slow, medium and fast are?
EDIT. Okay reading through the guide more closely I'm a bit confused. In step 4 it tells me to "draw a circle, centered at the end of the ruler measurement you did in step 3..." However the picture shows it placing the centre of the circle on a line drawn by the compass but it doesn't look to be at the end of the line drawn by the ruler. So I'm confused how you determine exactly where to place the circle. Am I just missing something?
