Same here, Gairith. This uses a "Python" script and "Stellarium", (both freeware) standalone pgms. While SH4 or SH3 is still running, I do a save, go to the script to input data of date/time UTC & Wx conditions then go to stellarium to get data from heavenly bodies, return to the game and at my leisure perform sight reductions and plot my position real time.

It works as in RL and performs like real navigation. Of course, if it's cloudy or foul wx I act accordingly.

cheers,
