if It helps you nickel I never understood degrees that well. I know its part of a circle, 0 is north 360 is also north. 180 is south 45 is east and 90 is in betwene but I go by ranges most of the time. If an enemy is 40 lightyears away and I adjust to what the scanners say and it gets to 30 but then I make a incorect adjustment and it gets further then I know I have made a mistake. However if i had to manually put stuff in I would be stumped. At 07:51 PM 5/25/2006, you wrote:
