SH4 usage of REAL NAV
Status for getting this to work with SH4:
I have removed all traces of Submarine Icons
Tests of GMT times versus "Base Time" as the clock is called in SH4 shows, that sun sets and raises look to be just as usable as in SH3 even down to minutes.
The only problem that remains are WHAT TIME ARE BASE TIME ???
Below an example:
Game date - 22 november 1942 - located on E 144 deg 50 / N 26 deg 50
I started the stopwatch as the game clock changed minutes, so to have seconds available.
in 3D the sun SET was
Lower Limb - 19:15:00 @ 247 deg True
Center sun - 19:29:10 @ 248 deg True
Upper Limb - 19:40:15 @ 250 deg True
From Almanac data (Starcalc) the real GMT sun SET should be 17:05:00 @ 247 deg True
Difference (to center sun) is + 2 hours 14 minutes or - 16 hours and 36 minutes
3d measurement of Polaris were 310 deg True at 25 deg up from horizon at game Base time 19:57:00
The submarine were parked the same spot the whole time.
Now can anyone tell me what timezone the BaseTime is???
or if this corrosponds with my position lat/lng ?
