THANK YOU! A huge thank you to all involved in this module. Really impressive work, LOVE IT!!!!

Hi All, recently been flying the new Harrier which I love, but have noticed that there is no way of slewing the tdc to the waypoints with out a laser on the ground from another source. When approaching a target trying to visually get eyes on where you want the sensors to be looking or getting the sensors in a general area can be a challenge unless you over fly the destination. Instead I thought that there must be an easier solution. I was thinking that if I were say flying at 5,000 feet, then how far ahead would the 5 degree marker on the hud be on the ground? Using a bit of trigonometry this is easy to calculate so I created a table which also converts to nautical miles from feet to help. Using the table if I approach at 5,000 then the 5 degree line on the Hud will be 9.4nm away so when I'm 9.4nm away from my waypoint I immediately know where I need to get my sensors placed to start searching the area. Its also handy to know exactly where the target location will be whether placing sensors or not. Thought others may find it handy?
