Hi Bernd, I get the mechanics, just not how to make the calcs :scratch: Ta in advance, you're not getting away that easy.......you started it by giving us ideas with bits of shiny stuff :lol: |

I involves trig functions. :smart: Come to think of it I don't even remember how to do the calcs now. :med: It's been a while. I cheated by using the cad program to figure the positions. :) Bernd |

Oh ok Bernd, I'll let you off, I learnt trigs and stuff once, I have no desire to do it again :lol: CAD sounds good.....I'll ask John when I see him next. I ask cos I can see me wanting to do this in the not too near future. I could prob work it out in CAD, but knowing me I'd do it the hard way, :bang: |

Don't ask me to explain it, all I do is get my Zeus book out and that gives me the formulae to work to. I suppose there are people that can keep such stuff in their head, I am not one of them, thank goodness. In fact you don't have to go that basic any more, I posted a couple of calculators early on about this project, in the other post, http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=701.0 that will do it all for you, very little brainpower required.

Just downloaded that pictcircle calculator. Going to give it a try. Thanks for the link John. Bernd |
