Vanjast, I just want to thank you for this great mod. I'm not yet using it as I've yet to learn the basics, but I know I eventually will do so and enjoy the heck out of it. I remember quite some time ago there was a thread discussing the possibility of "real life" navigation by shooting the stars / the moon / the sun in the game, and back then the consensus was that it can't be done (something about that the world in SHIII is flat). But seems like you found a way and even if it would still be limited to some extend by the game setup, it seems to be accurate enough.
I remember another problem though which was discussed then: The fact that the rudder (or the "helmsman") would not compensate for sea currents to stay the course when you enter the heading manually, other than when the course is plotted on the map. That would result in an ever increasing error, drifting you off course, and require constant position checks.
What is your experience with that?
