Ahh, I see.
This is what I thought I can trust my Navigator with.
I plot a course for him, and he will calculate, modify heading, calculate, modify heading and so on... just wanna see reports that we are on course sir, we reached a waypoint or we totally lost for the last 4 hours sir. This would be the real thing, right?
So, this is what I am trying to achieve, being a captain (without doing everyone's job on the boat), but in a believable real environment (without magic moving icons on the map. )
Looks like I need more investigation how to achieve this.
Thanks anyway!
