Navigation Outside Of Silent Hunter Software

Thank you. I found it and am modding the Python script to match my custom install of SH4 to work with Stellarium.



FYI - Once I get the script working correctly, I will be attempting to mod copies of the script to use with SH3, SH5 (I hope), FSX (yes, FSX can be used as a ship/sub sim), Sailaway (sailing sim), and Virtual Sailor/Vehicle Simulator. Essentially, I should be able to adapt the script to work as long as the app produces lat/lon text coordinates I can manipulate.


Stay tuned to this thread for developments and voyage log. One caveat is I may take a long while, so don't expect quick work.

Hi, thought this thread might be of use/interest to you:

This is Alpheratz's thread and youtube videos on something similar in SH5, using celestial navigation to plot course in game.

Please make your modifications on python available. Including the other Sims as well. I'm a big fan of Navigation without gps [emoji1783]. Sh3-5 using steam, fsx etc.

I will be happy to do it. I actually had it all working perfectly in SH4 and was going to start on SH3, but clobbered the files without realizing I had not backed them up. Live and learn, eh?

Oh that sucks [emoji51][emoji51]. I once lost a save game with a campaign. No time compression. Imagine my loss[emoji24].

Question: Is Steam's SH3-4 so different that you must modifiy the python script?
