Sextant mechanics

fly999 · 09-11-18, 11:55 AM

Have done some testing and found the following

have noticed that the sextant behaves like the UZO as in full 360 azimuth but only about 3 degrees vertical

when I press T to teleport it shows the UZO in yellow which I take to mean I am currently at the UZO which I am not as I have enabled the sextant

is this what you would see when trying to use the sextant ?

I believe the sim is confusing the UZO with the sextant which is why I am unable to take any observations

does anyone with a good knowledge of WOS suggest a tweak I can make in the options file editor ?
am I on the right track to fix this or am I wrong and will it need a complete reinstall ?

It seems that you didn't activate Generic Patcher and containing Sextant patches properly...

Hello, i have the same problem. When I click on sextant button, it turns on the UZO. Could you solve it?
