Is it possible to work it out without those missing details??

Can't wait to try it out

Well, unfortunately that's the first and most important detail - the altitude of the stellar body above the horizon. There used to be an old sextant .dds file that looked like a vertical red ruler in one of the mods, i can't remember which. But it was easy to just line the bottom with the horizon and read the sun height at above.

u can get the altitude from any stellar object with the sextant....u need to use it like the stadimeter and u get the altitude.......

my question then would be ......how is it possible that the in game celestial positions of the sun and the moon could coincide and be the same as in the almanac (real world)?

Why? You think that something like that shouldn't be possible?

install stellarium and u will see the the all celestial object are 100% accurate with that time of period here i am including also the stars there are some picture in TWoS thread with the sun position in that period of time in and game and is 100% accurate......

That's incredible, I mean to get it that accurate is very comendable on the part of the designers.

Yes but how does the sextant tool work? I think LCQ_SH's first question was whether there is a instruction for it.

At least something they did right...

I am not doubting about your work mate, I am just still amused by the game engine accuracy regarding the astronomy and position of celestial objects.

I am not doubting about your work mate, I am just still amused by the game engine accuracy regarding the astronomy and position of celestial objects. I am still wondering how could that be possible.

But anyways, I am also looking forward to seeing the tutorial videos as well . Do it for the subsim T-shirt and your fellow mates
