Improve your skills in real navigation.

Great as always! Thank you very much Alpheratz. I am slowly preparing update 2.2.23 and lot of your stuff will be in it. (links to your tutorials, documentation, charts ect...):yep:

Huge thank you to Alpheratz and the creator of the NewSextant mod! I have always wanted a way to do celnav in a sim, and now all the pieces are there to do it. After seeing the post about the acceleration and deceleration of the celestial sphere, I was trying to figure it out in international TWOS - this last video and this information came at just the right time because my solution was inelegant at best.

I know sometimes when posting things, we are never quite sure how many people we are reaching or if anybody cares. So please know that myself and at least a couple others I know will greatly appreciate this effort. And I certainly hope that other players who might not as yet be familiar with celnav give this a try, it’s a very rich experience, and it’s really not hard (basic arithmetic is all it has to be).

Ritterkreuz verdient! :Kaleun_Salute:

And noted for this year’s best of subsim vote when the time comes…

Thank you, derstosstrupp, for evaluating my work! I am glad that this attracts the attention of an authoritative and competent audience, which is interested in the fullest possible disclosure of the potential of our favorite simulator.

Vecko, i'm pleased that this will be my contribution to the overall effort to make the game better :salute:

Great job, Alpheratz! I was going to suggest that we collaborate on a spreadsheet or something, but I see you have that taken care of! :yeah:

Thanks! I thought that not everyone would be comfortable using kriegsmarine tables. Let there be a spreadsheet for quick navigation, it can be used both for training and on an ongoing basis. :yep:

F-Tafel all the way! In practice though I tend to use either Pub 249 or a scientific calculator. F-Tafel though is very accurate and relatively quick too once you get the hang of it.

I also prefer the F-Tafel. I'm planning to do another more detailed video on using the F-Tafel. My first video about F-Tafel is not suitable for using "SH5NewSextant".

If you remember our previous conversation I would like to ask this as well...You mean that I can leave files "SunAlmanac39_45.xls" and "SunAlmanacAndSpeedTable.pdf" even though you have created (if I'm not mistaken) specialized Almanacs for SH5 only? Is this correct?

I would recommend excluding "SunAlmanac39_45.xls" and "SunAlmanacAndSpeedTable.pdf" from the documentation because they are calculated based on the actual declination of the Sun. I have compiled my tables of sunrise and sunset based on the declination of the Sun, which take place in the world SH5.

Thank you! :up:

Do you think that it would be useful to have some of your "smaller" charts available in-game as well, like this? :)

Yes, I think it is worth making such charts available directly in the game. If necessary, they can always be printed on paper.:yep:

Great! :up:


Also, if you can, please compile one folder with tables and documentation which I should implement into real nav documentation for TWoS. I already created one but I'm concerned that I may mess up something and place outdated tables ect...


Please tell me which tables would be the most useful to be available in the game charts section as well. Right now I have 7 free slots for charts but that can be increased to 11 if necessary...
