Hello,

im running Wolves of Steel Mod and getting the Hang for Real Navigation. Cant use Sextant yet and still learning.

I watched the Tutorials on Real Navigation. I use the Scripts for Real Navigation with the Right Nautical Time and the Navigator is doing his job. But he is way off the Mark.

Sometimes i had 2 Celestial Fix taken from him after around not more than 4 Hours and they are 30-40km! apart.

I got into the TDW Options viewer and changed the Maximal Error% for Dead Rekoning on 1 (i guess its %) and still he is off the Mark. Same Errors

With 4 Bearing Method still learning i want to minimize the Errors of those Fixes. Is this Bug? How is the System working? Do you Manually "koppeln" (is it called in German) your way? Is there some drift of the Boat and it dont go straight for ex. Course 270° for 4 Hours?

How do you Real Nav? Just activate the Scripts? Do you give manually Order for Navigator if you need more Nav Points?

Pretty confused.
