Starting Over...Again

[Sailor Steve]

Alfred Keitzer's New Lorient installed and working.

[Sailor Steve]

Stayed up late last night installing and testing all the "little" mods - so many I'm not going to list them now.

With any luck I'll be playing by the 1st.

[Sailor Steve]

Just did the Artillery course. Things are looking pretty much the way I want them to.

[fitzcarraldo]

Time for some action Sailor Steve!

BTW I use the Ccom interiors. Better to me and compatible with Aces Super Turms.

All the best.

Stayed up very late loading and testing still more little mods. I finally have it looking and sounding pretty much the way I want, so I decided to test it with the Torpedo School scenario. None of my torpedoes did as much damage as I would have liked so I ended up chasing ships all over the ocean. I finally had four of them down and was chasing the last one when people started screaming that I was taking damage. I looked at the damage screen and my port diesel was down. I pulled men off the torpedo reloading team and indo Damage Control, and went to high TC. Before I knew it everybody was too tired to work anymore and the last ship was long gone.

I thought H.sie's engine damage from running at high speed only worked it you activated it, and I'm saving all those for last. Anyway, as frustrating as it was it was also pretty cool.

I'll have to remember to not run at Flank during these scenarios.

[sublynx]

Making an end run in 15 m/s wind becomes a pain when combined with continuous flank speed causing a very likely engine failure.

[Zosimus]

Don't use flank. Full speed ahead.

[Sailor Steve]

I figured that out. Apparently h.sie has it so Full Speed gives the historical 17 knots and Flank gives one extra.

Redid the Torpedo class last night with flying colors. More to the point everything seems to be working well together and looking great. Today I'll try to add all the new airplanes that have been done over the past few years, and then the final test.

[Fubar2Niner]

Best of luck Steve

Best regards.

I'm only able to make 16 knots and that in very smooth waves. 12 knots if the wind and swell is huge.

All the new airplanes?! I'm envious but hope you get it done

[Sailor Steve]

Have imported: BV-138 and Supermarine Walrus (Testpilot1878), Do-24 (Alex), Fairey Fulmar and Vought Kingfisher (Rowi58).

I'm not sure how to use the Mission Editor to place them in the game, so they may not show up until I do.

[HW3]

[Sailor Steve]

Cool! Sounds like what I was looking for, but couldn't remember the name.

Looked it up, found it, downloading now.

Thanks!

[Sailor Steve]

Well, I loaded USAM and got a crash. I thought it might be due to WB's campaign layers not being compatible with Wilhelmshaven Schleuse v7, so I replaced the LND and SCR layers with the former ones, and it still crashed. I'm thinking that if I replace the RND layer none of those new planes and ships will appear at all.

What do I do next?

[Sailor Steve]

Replaced the new RND file with the St. Naz one and still got a crash.
