wrong readings with sextant in Wolves of steel

[VentHorizon]

Since i dont want to necro a 3 years old thread i will just ask like this. I hope its ok.

Using wolves of steel megapack. (properly installed)
Using sextant to measure my position at the start of the Historical mission: Balloon test mission 14 oct 1939 12:00 GMT
REAL Location N 58°57' W 2°59'

12:00 GMT

Readings: Altitude 21°56'
Zenith: (89°60' minus 21°56') =68°4'
Sun declination for 14 oct 1939 :south 7°54'
My latitude: zenith minus declination =61°50' (that's way off)

what am i doing wrong?
Could this be due to my screen resolution (aspect ratio) : 16:9
Wolves of steel default aspect is set to 16:9.

let me check it cos for me the sextant work great and all celestial objects are 99.9 accurate.

Edit:

the sun position at that date is at azimuth +164 degree and and altitude of 23.10 degree
so 89.6-23.10-7.54 = 58.96 this one without any sextant correction

PS.i have check it also with stellarium and is 99.9% accurate

Did you check it in the Historical mission: Balloon test mission?
There might be a problem with Historical mission dates. The ones showing 11:00 GMT actually start at 23:00 GMT (but its day, and sun is in the sky)
Maybe i should not use Historical mission for this exercise.
Here is what i get in Balloon test mission.

Test it in the campaign please. Time in single missions is somewhat strange.

Campaign:

03 sep 1939
Nautical 12:00
time 11:00 GMT+1
Real location: N 54° 40' E15° 16'

Readings:

Alt 40°13'
dec 7°47'
zen 49° 47'
lat 57°34'

Am I still doing something wrong? i took multiple readings.
I'm reading bottom of the sun, at the correct time.

EDIT: new reading in the attachment.
