It depends on what you want to do and how you want to do it. It sounds like you want to get as close to the very specific numbers a certain year in history had and that's all. In that situation, you shouldn't use auto-calc as it's going to make your numbers diverge from what you want.
Some people, like myself, however, want a certain run environment, but we want some randomness to it. For example, I've created a RE based on very specific ratios, a blend of a few years, not any specific year, but I don't want every season's totals to be nearly identical. Auto-calc is great for that.
I only brought it up, however, because I was trying to see how Charlie might have been getting such weird modifiers. Who knows how he might be getting what he's getting. I wouldn't want OOTP's customizability to ever change, but with that customizability comes increased troubleshooting difficulty.
Who here is considered the foremost expert on historical sims? Maybe send them a PM and ask them to take a look at your threads, Charlie.
