Good News. "I'm Going Down" tells me his Python/Stellarium combo is finally working.
His saved games, for some unknown reason, weren't being saved where they were supposed to. When we last spoke, the only place the saved games were apparently going was into ...\SH4\data\cfg...etc., but that wasn't the case; instead, he advised me, they should have been saved into the ...\TMO\date\cfg...etc., directory. At any rate, all seems to be working now.
Most times perseverance pays off, and in IGD's case it sure has. Nicely done.
Now...for the hard part. It's back to school (we're never done with it).
Always remember the 5 P's:
Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.
Fair winds, mate!
