NYGM 3.6A

Minor update to NYGM 3.6, which fixes a few very minor issues, and also introduces LGN1's MAD-mod.

Install as replacement for NYGM 3.6 using JSGME (or install it over NYGM 3.6). Any other mods should be installed after NYGM 3.6A. The NYGM 3.6A mod, and its sub-variants, contain all the subsidiary files needed in order to play H.sie's wolf-pack patch for SH3.exe, known as V16_A3 (or later version). For copyright reasons, H.sie's patch must be obtained and installed separately. This mod also contains the extra changes needed for compatibility with the Stiebler2_Addon_for_V16A3 patch. (See here:

The MAD-mod (MAD-sensor by LGN1).
This wonderfully-named mod provides selected American Catalinas with a MAD (magnetic anomaly detector) sensor. The MAD sensor is not very sensitive, and it has a short range, but it works day and night to detect the unexpected magnetic field of a submerged U-boat (functions to at least 100m depth) as the Catalina aircraft follows its scripted path overhead. If detected, the Catalina will attack immediately with bombs - and your U-boat will know nothing about it until the bombs start falling around. Pretty scary! Even the TC will not drop when this happens. Your only warning will be if you are using the SH3 Noise Meter, which will turn suddenly red - and you should not be using the Noise Meter for realistic play anyway.

However, before you panic too much, let us reassure you about the following conditions:
a) Not used before January 1943.
b) Used (in SH3) only around the British Isles, the Bay of Biscay and in the approaches west of Gibraltar. (We won't be more precise, so as to maintain the element of surprise.)
c) The sensor is not very sensitive and has only a short range. Attacks by MAD-Catalinas should be rare in a career, and even rarer in a single patrol. Just as in real life.

Minor Fixes.
1. The frequency with which Hurricane aircraft are spawned around the British Isles has been reduced by a random factor of about four. It was previously almost impossible to surface in 1940 in the vicinity of the British Isles, without being attacked.
2. The weather has again been improved (reduced chance of prolonged foggy-storms with a new file envsim.act. Foggy storms will now be stopped at the first code opportunity after 72 hours of fog. (However, it may take up to another 24 hours before the code is actually encountered.) This is a development of the previous NYGM-pattern of weather control, unrelated to H.sie's different approach for envsim.act.
3. Rubini's Harbor Traffic Mod also updated to include the MAD-Catalinas, and the package added as a folder in Documentation.
