I'm one of those players who was/is attracted to the whole idea of manual navigation and watched the accompanying threads with great interest. Even bought a book or two on Astronomy and another on the history of Longditude (exciting book) but sadly I still can't get my head around what I have to do in the game.
I think its because I lack some basic understanding of celestial navigation. I'm quite good at maths so i think its a conceptual thing. I read all the read mes with the mod but still just can't get the hang of it :-( I found they assumed us beginners had a certain level of knowledge which I unfortunately dont have
Can anyone reccomend a resource for the absolute beginner to start with ?
Cheers...
