This is probably a good idea. The game is very strange, and I'm not sure how far we should trust it.

Yep - I was asking about SH4, thanks for responding. I checked the sun, in the Med campaign and I think it reached it's highest point at 12:33 zulu, which seemed about right for Gib', which is right on the Western edge of the Alpha TZ. Still haven't managed to plot a fix yet, or at least I haven't managed to get a computed height within a degree of the observed height twice in a row - The problem is I'm not sure where the error is. In the real world I'd have access to GMT

Still having lots of fun working it out though, and since I started this in the middle of a patrol, it's going to be a real challenge getting back to Pearl without using waypoints

Anyway thanks for the info - every bit helps
