The problem with celestial nav in a game is that you need an Almanac and sight reduction tables. So measuring altitude is only practical for Polaris.

Does anyone have the transparent TGA files for a 7b and 7c sub? I've tried to edit the files with some freeware tools but I keep getting a black square as my sub on the nav map. I know some of the threads mentioned to make the sub transparent but I must be missing something when it comes to modifying the TGA files.

Thanks,
Ron

Nevermind, I did another search and found out that Dantenoc has a transparent file for a 9b that can be renamed for a 7b or 7c. For anyone else needing a modified TGA file you can find it at http://hosted.filefront.com/dantenoc for manual navigation.

Thanks,
Ron
