need a bit help on figuring out true position under real navigation

Wolfcat · 12-29-19, 04:57 AM

Dude, ur channel is so messy. U have SH3 and Sh5 stuff mixed together. Can't you create some playlists to organize things.

It's all good. Just busting your chops. Nice video. But I am more interested to learn about celestial positioning. I haven't been able to find any good ones online. Also, in your video, you mentioned you would do another video on tactical deck reckoning, but I haven't seen anything in your library.

Celestial navigating is difficult since it is not modeled well in the game. The sextant used is not even doing it correctly, but through the limitation of the game. The SH3/5 videos work for both games.

Well, detailing the whole process would be a bit lengthy to post here (but I can do that if you like). Is there something in particular you are having trouble with?

Also, keep in mind that several members here have come to the conclusion that accurate celestial navigation cannot be done in SH. (I don't know because I don't play it.) But if you learn how to do it, you can decide for yourself.

If accurate positioning cannot be done in game then forget it. I guess all games have limitations, can't replicate the real world 100% correct.

Relax, in 99% percent of the game it isnt important to know excactly where you are. Make you calculations for your engagement near Hawaii or near Kiel, it doesent matter where you are exactly for the right AOB.

There’s always this:https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=134816

Mod your game to hide your own boat icon, then…
By way of a python script that pulls your coordinates out of SH3 or SH4, and puts them into a planetarium software, you can go into the software and get your real world sights, go back into the game and plot it. I’ve done this quite a bit. The only caveat is that the game then becomes all about this, and you tend to get burnt out pretty quickly. But it scratches the itch.
