Oh don't worry, faith is not lost, I love this sim no matter how frustrating it is at times.
I Jaystew's description is very promising, and your statement about the "seaman's eye" helps a lot also.
I have for the longest time how the crew of any vessle was able to judge distance and course of a distant contact. What you say makes sense.
This sim makes it all the more impressive how the crews of these vessles were able to do as they did, without the marvels of GPS, and other such things. It is really incredible.
