Here is a something similar to my recent email to Don Reed. Mr. Reed can probably resolve Question No. 1, which he is familiar with.

I am on a single mission off of the Solomen's. The date is 11/14/1943. base time is 0648hrs. I save the mission and exit SH4. I input that information to python. When I run python, Stellarium opens.

Question No. 1. Stellarium says I am in the Pacific Ocean, so I assume I am at the correct location. On Stellarium's world map, the arrow it set and points to the Pacific Ocean, so that confirms my assumption. Next, I open the configuration window in Stellarium and run the SH4 script per your instruction. I assume that will run the most recent saved game in SH4. Unfortunately, it returns me to the Stellarium main screen where it still shows the current date (8/26/2010) and current time. What am I doing wrong?

Specific information. When I run the SH4toStellarium in python, Stellarium opens and says I am in the Pacific Ocean, so I assume I am at the correct location. Note, I had set the date in python 1943/11/01, which is the date of my saved game. However, when I open the configuration window in Stellarium and run the SH4 script per your instructions, I still get the current date instead of a date of November 14, 1943. The startup.sst folder in Stellarium does not bear a 1943 date. It still bears the following, incorrect data, which does not match the saved game,

Name: Startup Script
// Description: Script which runs automatically at startup
//
date utc 1943/01/01T11:02:00
moveto lon 162.960510583
moveto lat 5.23516041667
script action end

Second question. SH4 says base time is 0648 hrs. I am off the Solomen Islands. I am not sure what base time means. This is a single mission, and there is no indication on the map screen as to what the base is. How does base time coordinate with GMT, and if I am off the Solomens, how do I account for the time difference between that location and the base?

Third question. How do you figure the GMT for a remote location like the Solomens? This is related to question No. 2.
