I've been using it ever since, Mike, first posted it for SH4 and later converted it for use with SH3.

Sadly, I have not yet found a way to use with SH5.

A lot of folks have problems with SH3 due to the "drifting" and/or "sleepy helmsman" and probably don't use it that much on that game. Since I play TC x1 primarily, that gives me time to "whack" him when he falls asleep, to keep him on course.

Biggest problem is with the F5 screen Chart, particularly with DR in latitudes N and S where longitude degrees are significantly narrower than 60nm.

Lately I've only been using three star fixes obtained with pre-dawn and sunset twilight. Running fixes (RFix) using the Sun requires a DR more equivalent to one that could be obtained in real life. This results in an "UNSAT" RFix.

Using the Three star Fix usually puts me right on the money.
