sfc,
Thanks for the info. I will give it a try and see if I can get it to work.

Simmy
were you able to find out anything?
what I was refering to is the careerstart.upc file in either your documents (sh4/data/cfg/userplayercontext) folder or in the main installed location (data/upcdata/upccampaigndata.
here is what I did to that file so I can use any class sub at career start

[CareerStart 1]
ID=Beginning
NameDisplayable=1941
StartTimeInterval=1941-12-08, 1942-02-01
BackgroundPic=1941.tga
CareerStartBriefingText=The war has just started, and we're being beaten.
RenownOptions=1000,2000,500000

[CareerStart 1.Flotilla 1]
ID=C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable=Pearl Harbor
IDLinkFlotilla=PearlHarborCommand
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits=F1Porpoise,1,F1Tambor,1,F1Ga r,1,F1Gato,15,F1Balao,10 (this line is showing space between ga r after I post so watch that)
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality=1.000000

hope this helps out.
I don't use the mod you mentioned but if you look in the mod files you should still find the careerstart.upc file and fix it. good luck

sfc,
Here is what I found.

[CareerStart 1]
ID=Beginning
NameDisplayable=8 Dec 1941
StartTimeInterval=1941-12-07, 1941-12-07
BackgroundPic=1941.tga
CareerStartBriefingText=The war has just started, and we're being beaten.
RenownOptions=5000,8000

[CareerStart 1.Flotilla 1]
ID=C1Flotilla1
NameDisplayable=Pearl Harbor
IDLinkFlotilla=PearlHarborCommand
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits=F1Porpoise,4,F1Tambor,5,F1Ga r,4,F1Narwhal,2
FlotillaBriefingText=
FlotillaCommonality=1.000000

Does not look like what you posted. Are you saying I should type in what you have there in your post? If so I will type it in and start a new game.

thanks...

you are on the right track, the file you have clearly shows no gato at start of career.
then it would depend in your up grade files if it has a gato. but if you just want to start a career with a gato use this line
IDLinkUserPlayerUnits=F1Porpoise,1,F1Tambor,1,F1Ga r,1,F1Gato,15,F1Balao,10

then you can start with any of those.
just thought of one question, you are starting from pearl right?
if not then it is another whole can of worms. let me know how it goes.

also what mods do you have loaded? you may need to edit mod files too. remember-back up all files before changing!

sfc,
I have tried starting from every port the game will let me.
No luck with any of them.
When I get a chance I will change that line and start from Pearl.
Oh wouldn't it be nice...

thanks much for your help!
