Hi
I'm trying to get back to SH after few years, but first time with calculating u-boot position with real navigation. I would like to learn it from totorials #1 and #2 at first page of this thread, but I can't see the pictures. They are not available anymore. Well, I will try without pictures. But are there any other tutorials? There are many tutorials for manual TDC and all firing stuff but any tutorial about real navigation mod I can find says that your position will give you yor crew nawigator. That;ś not real navigation! There are tutorials for manual position calculating but I can't find them or there is no any but this thread only? Cheers to all! |

In 1895, Joshua Slocum, the first man to sail around the world solo on his gaff rigged sloop Spray, used a cheap tin clock for approximate time, noon sun sightings and lunar distance sightings and dead reckoning to navigate.
Pretty cool stuff...........

If no one else responds, I would be happy to help with any general celestial navigation questions. However, I am unfamiliar with SH, so I cannot comment on how it works in-game.

Thanks, Nathaniel that's a very kind offer. I'm looking to use the sextant in SH5 really, so not sure how much or how it differs from real-life techniques.
I will have a play about and come back to you if I need some clarification. I also just came across this series of videos https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=246847 have not had time to look at them yet, but they look very good regards |

From what I have read, it seems that Alpheratz has worked very hard to ensure that the standard techniques work in-game*. If what he writes is true, and he has developed an almanac that will work with the game, then I should be able to provide you with any help you might need. Just let me know if you run into any stumbling blocks. A little help along the way can be the catalyst to a much deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts. (And it can also help by explaining the [sometimes outdated] jargon which often confuses the "uninitiated".) And if you really understand what's going on, the chance of making a mistake is greatly reduced. Cheers! * To be clear: this is not a trivial task. I'm not entirely sure that everyone here appreciates how much work must've gone into this.

Pictures for post#01
In case anyone is still interested to see the picture of the original post, I have uploaded a copy I did once in the link below. I do own any of this work, but made a copy for my convenience once.

Indeed, the Sun can be used to determine latitude in Silent Hunter 5, given the declination of the Sun SH5, which is different from the real one (requires a special SH5 almanac), as well as the sun semidiameter. I talk about these nuances in my videos. |
