So, you have only 3 depth levels on the map ?

Here are the depth values I've found with the vanilla colors. In red are the values I've fixed for each depth color level.



And here is the result with 9 depth levels. I've also modified the dragable depth scale :

And here a darker version, with more readable depth levels :

In the readme, you wrote :

"You use "H.Sie fixes" and "Stiebler add-on": you take your original sh3.exe and patch it with "H.Sie fixes" and "Stiebler add-on", according to Stiebler's instructions. After that you copy this already patched sh3.exe file and patch it with Enhanced Map Drawing."

Is it possible to first patch Sh3.exe with Enhanced Map Drawing, and then patch it with H.Sie fixes and Stiebler add-on ? :hmm2:

Near the shore, I use dead reckoning and fixes by a whole set of principles for coastal navigation, that I know. You can teach yourself from the internet.

Far from the shore I use pseudo navigation. Dead reckoning again, plus making fixes through ctrl+left click. If the weather get worse and I don't see the sky, I don't make position fix and continue with dead reckoning.
This requires self control, nothing can stop you to make the fix, but don't do it.

And, the most fun part is the plotting of other ships.
Here you come to the world of Relative motion.
Learn things like, Maneuvering board and Radar plotting (even without radar it have all bunch of applications).


Yes, completely enough.

I don't like dark for the deeper, the feeling of nautical chart is lost, and is impractical for drawing/plotting.
But, if you are happy with this, all is good. I don't impose my opinion.

No, don't do that. H.Sie patch will not recognize the sh3.exe after that.

It depends on the color of the lines ! :03:

One day, you should make a video about all that.

I can't express myself in english. And honestly, lately I only dream how I play.
A little time that I have was spend for changing things in my installation.

Hi Tycho,

- deleted because I found the information -

great work! It helps a lot for playing with real navigation (you can now use the course line to keep your course without showing your position)!

Best, LGN1

What do you mean ??? :06:

Hi LGN1, glad to see you.
Good idea, will make it for myself.
In SH3 there have some kind of drift. If you are sailing only with course tool, you will not notice, because the boat follow the line.
But, if you sail without the tool, you will notice, that after time the boat deviated from that course.

So, how is it possible to not show your position (if your u-boot icon is hidden on the nav map) if you're using the course tool ? :hmmm:

Does real navigation exist with SH3? I read somewhere that it wasn't possible, due to some clock malfunctions. If it's possible, then I see the utility of do not show your position in the map.

Hi,

there is only one little issue left when using the "course feature" with real navigation: you can see your boat's position in the period between the left-click and right-click when drawing the first section of a course (at least I was not able to remove this line segment).

However, this is not that crucial because you can do that once during a patrol (when you know your position), put the first waypoint at the map border (so that you will never reach it) and keep it there during the whole patrol to adjust your course.

Best, LGN1

I made new version, the first post edited, add these things:
- Ruler line scale-rhombs, get rid of these.
- Sizes of begin\end - mark\arrow of the tools.
- Long/Lat digits on degrees label.
- Scopes reticle, get rid of these.
- Sea foam below 9 m/s.

Because already is not concentrated only to navigation map, I rename it to "Tycho Sh3 Patch".

Where is the link download?

here in post #1
"Tycho Sh3 Patch".

Ok! I guessed that he was there, but he could not find it from my phone.
