Real Navigation and the sextant

Fifi · 02-06-13, 07:02 PM

One thing wich isn't modeled ingame, is the sea stream...
Very important for real nav calculations!
Other thing: boat speed may vary in regard of waves and wind.
Not modeled too AFAIK.

But game is enough hard like that

I would really want to know how to use SH5 sextan without officer help though.

Fifi,
Read through TDW's information he provides with his Real Nav mod. He talks about using it within the game. I am still messing around with it out of interest, Agree,the game is complex enough with all the mods added in. Had enough ultimate reality of submarines in a 24 year career.....kind of like my game toned down a bit from that

A quick more concise answer....read the file named "using the game mod" in the Real Navigation document folder....he gives an example of using the sextant.

I haven't ever tried using the sextant, but I have read somewhere that SH5's celestial sphere is not very accurate
