Real Navigation problem

[El Hadji]

Is that really the problem here? I mean I could be totally lost but when I place the ruler over my boat on the chart and plot a course line it should start from where I think I am, shouldn't it?

When I look at tutorials the red marker ends up where the center cross of the ruler is. When I place it, it ends up several NM's from where the rulers center is.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I have the same MOD list installed except the resolution patch and everything works fine. I had that problem in the past and I think it may have something to do with the ruler compass. I noticed yours is different, I'm sorry I can't post a pic of mine, I'm not at my game computer.
Did you by chance change it?

I have not changed anything other than installing the Wolves of Steel 1.05 mod (and the stuff that comes with it). I have also tried to reinstall the entire mod on top of a clean SH5 1.2.0 install and I do follow the instructions to the letter. Everything works except the ruler and protractor since they refuse to put down the red cross marker over their centers.

What you say makes sense DieReeperbahn. If the scale of the navigational tools is wrong this would probably be the effect.

EDIT: The resolution patch was the culprit! Removing it made the ruler and protractor work as intended. Thank you Reeperbahn (wasn't the first time Die Reeperbahn relieved a sailor in distress, was it...) and everyone that helped out.
