Default Problem: SH3 + GWX + SH3Cmdr now starting me at the equator

As above, whenever I start a new career I end up off the coast of West Africa - I'm guessing that I'm actually at 0, 0 in effect. Is this corrupted files or somesuch? I'm wondering if JSGME / SH3Cmdr has damaged them in some way and that the starting location for home-port is missing.



Note 'Start at sea' is not selected.


Any hints for which file(s) to edit would be welcome.

Yes, I've got those entries with those values along with Constanza to Koenigsburg, but they appear to be messages.


I Note that .../data/Terrain/Locations.cfg holds:
[Location 1]
Long=10.152396
Lat=54.344944
Heading=44
OnLand=false
ShowOnMap=true
FileName=Kiel
LocationName=Kiel

Thanks for the link (I had tried searching, but lookde for 'equator' - do'h!).


In the end, I applied the 'English Map-Names' mod, on the grounds that that would probably have the lat-longs and it fixed the problem.
