"BTW, how dou you take "star sightings" in SHIII? In SHI you would - under favourable weather conditions at night - allow yourself to check the zoomed in in-game map and move the cursor over your sub which would then pop-up her coordinates. How do you do it in SHIII with your setup? Select the plotting option which would reveal the position of the sub from where it originates?"

You make a Ctrl-click which will bring the sub's position at your cursor spot. You can then make a mark...

P.S. : All people interested by this type of navigation : load the transparent file (location in this thread) and have a look in You Tube for the demo under "Dantenoc's Hardcore Navigation in SH3" The only difference is that he allows sun fixes instead of star fixes, but you can decide to use both, which gives you a fix at sunrise, at 12h00, at sundown and at midnight. (Providing the sky is not covered... if it is you have to make an estimate of your speed/heading) Remember the scene in "Das Boot" : "It's been 14 days since we could make a sun measurement, I had to compute"
