[TEC] Real navigation Tutorials

[oakdesign]

As already stated somewhere else I served as a Navigationsmaat on the Germany Navy Vessel Minenkampfboot "Passau" from 1989-1993. That said I really like the Idea doing the navigation stuff on my own instead of using the ingame Navigator.

For Terrestial Naviagation I'm currently following the this idea.

With OHII we already have navigation buoys. But not visible on the map so useless to use for a terrestial fix.

All buoys positions could be extracted from the OHII Harbour.mis file. With the position of some of those i.e the last ones leaving Wilhemshaven and add them as supermarks through TWS's Ship Journal I'll have the buoys position on the Nav Map station and could use them for a running fix or a cross bearing fix.

P.S: most of the documents are in pdf format. If only we could open them in game... Unfortunately I think this topic has been commented by TDW already, and IIRC it is not possible

Any news regarding this issue? I'm preparing new update of TWoS megamod but I'll remove large optic if it isn't compatible with TDW real nav...
