Yes...very nice site.

Yes it is extrange, because to navigate nm are the value used.
Any way there is no problem if this fact is well speciphied.

The underwater ranges in the .sim files are supposed to be statute miles, but they're not. I'll call them "ubi-pseudo-units". Then SH3 mutiplies them with 1,6 to convert them "again" to statute miles.

I can believe ! may be diferent people putting their hands into the program.

I think so their original intemption was to input the values in sm and convert them into km, looking at the 1.6 factor..... but for some loss reason the program dont take them as km ...instead as miles. :hmm: may be difetrent people made partial parts of the program and the convertion method was loss into a mistake or misunderstand of any one....

Hard to test... or imposible.
In example... when you fly, you need to adjust the real nautical miles due to the head or tail wind.... if you have head wind, you real nautical miles will increase, instead, if you have tail wind, your real nautical miles will be reduced.
The same happens at sea with sea streams....... they can enlarge you geographical nautical miles o reduce them, i dont know if it is modellated in the game, but may be havy seas have influence into speed into fuel compsumption..... may be wind speed too.
The main problem is it is imposible to perform a long range surface navigation to a complete fuel out.....without dive, surface, dive, surface...dive.... due to enemy encounters.
:hmm:
