Well, something is better than nothing IMO. That been said I'm pretty much positive that Sizzle has confirmed what I said about star positions in SH5. I'll try to find the exact post...


Regarding your measurement problem, try to pause the game (backspace) when you align your sextant with the horizon. Than do the measurement. Real sextant double view could not be implemented in SH5 but the existing one could also do the job with mentioned "pause" trick.
