Mission 4 - Tabletop location - OAP

[zildac]

Hi,

In mission 4 when Wizard gives the location of the crippled Tabletop as 008 for 40, if I set up an OAP using these coordinates and distance from rock the TGP is nowhere near the ship. Is this supposed to be the case, I set the bearing as True should it be Magnetic?

 

Thanks,

Flew this one yesterday.

Just plotted the range and bearing from Rock on the F10 map, which was accurate enough. I found the Tabletop without issue.

From what you're saying it sounds like Rock's waypoint coordinates might be incorrect.

I'll test using OAP later. Bearing should be True.

Thanks for looking. Odd, I'm pretty sure I did the OAP right based on the BE call, but it was the first time I’d tried it in anger, so perhaps not

I've never done it before either. I had to look it up after you mentioned it, but it seems really useful!

Giving it a go now.

You were right. It appears that Magnetic is the right one to use. It's not spot on, but it's close enough to identify the ship.

Another day another lesson learnt. OAP is a really nice tool to use!

Thanks for confirming. Yeah, it's certainly a handy feature.
