Please support the Kickstarter for the AVID assistant. (For Squadron Strike: Traveller, Squadron Strike, and Attack Vector: Tactical.)

link

This project is a computerized version of the AVID. For people who already play Squadron Strike and Attack Vector: Tactical, it makes managing multiple ships easier and speeds up play. It removes errors in orientation, and it moves some of the head-bendy conceptual tricks from your brain to buttons on a tablet or phone. For people who've tried to get other players to the table, the AVID Assistant removes all of "am I doing this right?" questions from newbies.

Risks? There's already a functioning, tested program. Ken and the development team put a lot of work into it, and it handles the three basic functions of the AVID, including heading changes (shown in the first image below), shooting bearings (second image), and mapping bearings to firing arcs (third image).
