Obviously cloudy weather would make this feature seem a little unrealistic. Regardless this would force the skipper to DR his way around the ocean without having to do all the "extra stuff" required to get an astro fix.

I'm the Captain. I don't need to use a sextant. But I do make decisions based on the best position information available.

i dont have a clue about real navigation, i am learning atm. one question about the celestial fix: how often a day a navigator can take a fix? is he only capable to take the fix while sunrise or sunset? if so, we need to implement this restriction to the mod. atm, we can take the celestial fix every time, as often as we want... can somebody please clarify this?
