Question: IDL and SH4

propbeanie · 04-08-18, 07:37 PM

I can fiind all kinds of info from back in the v1.3 (and previous) days of Silent Hunter 4 (shudder), and issues with targeting etc. caused by crossing the International Date Line. For the life of me though, I cannot find if the devs used a straight liine at the 180 latitude, or if they "zig-zagged" it, like it was in real life back then, or if they used the "modern" version... Anyone know? aanker???

- I'm guessing they straight-lined it at the 180 mark. Thanks...

btw, anyone up to teaching an old dog new / old tricks? Why does the "site:" search not bring in sensible hits anymore?...
