hello vanjast,
you should rethink about your sh5 policy. the user "thedarkwraith" has written a genious mod where a real navigation feature is implemented. because of less modding restrictions, he is able to code in most of the features requested by the community. real navigation was one of his last efforts, it is brilliant! your sub icon is away. you can ask the navigator to give a celsetial fix or to use dead reckoning, he gives you the position directly to the map. errors depends on weather (celestial fixes) or time and distance (dead reckoning). you can draw in nav marks by yourself and write some info directly on the map. also course changings as a result of wind are part of sh5, so real nav becomes a new dimension here. a sextant can be used too, but i am not using it yet. that was the reason i was asking how often we can use it.
@tdw: i think we have to restrict the rules the celestial fix can be taken. clouds f. ex. are a "nogo" for celestial nav...
