Since i dont want to necro a 3 years old thread i will just ask like this. I hope its ok.

Using wolves of steel megapack. (properly installed)
Using sextant to measure my position at the start of the Historical mission: Balloon test mission 14 oct 1939 12:00 GMT
REAL Location N 58°57' W 2°59'

12:00 GMT

Readings: Altitude 21°56'
Zenith: (89°60' minus 21°56') =68°4'
Sun declination for 14 oct 1939 :south 7°54'
My latitude: zenith minus declination =61°50' (that's way off)

what am i doing wrong?
Could this be due to my screen resolution (aspect ratio) : 16:9
Wolves of steel default aspect is set to 16:9.
