Greetings! I hope this is not a violation of forum rules but thought it'd might be of interest to share a java based simulation of the Mark 8 rangekeeper that was employed in USN cruisers and battleships. The link to the sim is located here at mark38.com I will apologize in advance for Java's peculiarities. The procedure for jumping through all the security hoops is listed on the "how to play" page. A tutorial for the tracking procedure is also listed on that page and I can answer any questions you may have. BTW- I was unable to recover my original account so this isn't my first post here. I'm still an arm chair guy hoping one day I can join the fight, looks like a fantastic hobby Brad
