On an ultrawide screen, I can't find a way to close the Navigation for Dummies book. I guess there would be an X at a corner of the page, if the corners were on screen :D! Try to make vertical FOV constant? Anyway, thanks for teaching rangefinder usage, cool idea!

Yep, that'll do it. I have a 16:9 monitor, and I forgot to toggle a setting that would make UI elements scale properly on different aspect ratios. It's always irritated me that it's not the default setting, and I always forget :). Thanks for playing!

Had to rename the data folder for it to work. Interesting concept. Took a bit to figure out what I'm supposed to do, but I got there ^^ Wish I had a turnable ruler on the map

For sure, there was always meant to be a ruler but I ran out of time. Thanks for tipping me off about the file names, that should be fixed now.
