The easiest and most fully featured way is to use SH3 Commander to start SH3 for you and in it's options set your Near Land TC to 64x or so. Remember though, there are subnets and minefields around the French ports especially, so try to follow your escorts out of the harbor or check your route against the minefield maps first.

To manually change your TC settings, see this post by Albrecht Von Hesse, he tells how to set that in the actual data files. Just remember if you install anything that overwrites that file you'll need to make the changes again.
Thanks for the information and the good advice above on both my posts. I hadn't considered friendly Mines/nets. You guys are great. Shortly after I made that last post I went to visit Davy Jones locker. It's a short story. I made the mistake of not not doing a listening sweep before I popped up the scope. The viewfinder was filled with an un identified destroyer... Crash dive... zoom out the scope... start working on a plan. (only the scope was zoomed out ha,ha) The DD plowed into my conning tower. I think I was nearly inverted when the depth charges went off.

Anyway I'm back to 1940
currently up around AN21
with my new Type IIA U-11

Thanks again
