Yes, I do exactly that. But the elevation is hard-locked to what, 10-20º? I can't use it like that

Is your TWoS version 2.2.24? What modifications do you add to TWoS additionally?

You did a full install of TWoS 2.2.24. or upgrading from a previous version?

From your JSGME list, try leaving only the new sextant and see if the problem goes away.

As a last resort, only reinstalling / full installing TWoS can help you. I've heard from players that they had conflicts when upgrading from previous versions and solved them with a full install.

Your JSGME mod sequence is not giving me sextant problems for me. All you have to do, I'm afraid, is to do a full TWoS installation. I have never encountered a problem like this, so I can't help it anymore.

I did a full install. Tried using the old sextant but the problem persisted. I'll try reinstalling

Reinstalled SH5 and installed TWOS, tried first with the new sextant Real Navigation and then with the older sextant, and none of those would let me look upwards more than 10º.

Hello, It seems to me that the error occurs at the stage of updating the contents of your game CD to v.1.2.0 and patching it before installing TWoS. I had other problems when playing from a disc and at one time I abandoned the DVD version of the game and download directly from Ubi connect and do not encounter errors.
