Sounds interesting ... I'll check it out

It's been done in SH3 already - One person got down to a 100m accuracy.
just methods and practice. On my first attempt I went from Kiel to Those SW islands off the UK + 1 week of overcast lousy weather coming around Scotland, and I was out by ~5km. I got a visual on the target island off to the one side

Well, we have to make it hard... it's great fun. Radar doesn't have to go. There are some moon mods around (no pun intended

I also find SH4's TDC a mission, but I suppose one has to use it.

I'll be getting down to tranferring SH3's Real Nav Mod to SH4 sometime soon. The great thing about SH4 are the maps Latitude and Longitude lines (SH3 didn't have these).
