Happy Hunting!

Hey aanker thanks for asking about the ctrl+W the editing seems simple enough but for some reason still a no go for me. Maybe because of GFO mod?

Yes, the GFO mod, however you can edit the same file in the GFO mod and make your own mini mod and it should work.

Rather than uninstalling the GFO mod to edit the Commands.cfg file, make a copy of the GFO Commands.cfg file, edit the copy, and use the same folder structure as GFO for your mini mod:

Make a folder and call it, GFO_Weather
In that folder make a Data folder
In the Data folder make a Cfg folder
- and put your GFO edited Commands.cfg file in this Cfg folder

Put this GFO_Weather folder in your MODS folder and JSGME should see it. It would be best to enable it only when you have returned to base.

Now you've made your first mod. Good luck!

Hello aanker many thanks for your quick response. I actually never even considered about being in port when I edited the file. I will give that a whirl. It's a small thing but I always liked that feature in SHCE. Peace out

hey peter!

i hope winter has not been too cruel to you across the pond. i, myself, just came in from removing 3 or 4 inches of that white stuff from my driveway and walkways.

just wanted to let you know that i finished the Uboat part of GFO 1.1 and thoroughly enjoyed it. i stayed with a 9D2 the whole way (14 patrols) and lived to tell the tale.

so, now that i have completed both a US and a German career, i need to find another mod-group to play.

many thanks to you and the others who contributed to this mod-group.

the eye patch for stock did the reverse for me; it broke the eyes.

I removed it and the eyes were fine.

might want to recheck that one.

also, the 3000 yard tool was causing significant lag when I used time compression, to the point where I could not go above 1024 without causing the game to skip large chunks and getting ctds. removing it fixed these issues, and TC is now smooth again at all speeds.

There is a 1500 yard tool that works much better, plus no lag. If you need a longer line just extend it on the tool's 1500 long line using the bearings you want as a guide. It is accurate enough using this method.

3000 is overkill, imo.

Happy Hunting!

High TC will depend on your systems capabilities and your frame rates will drop in high traffic areas.
If you start scrolling your map you may also experience some lagging as the frame rate drops.
Personally I would not want to play without the 3000 yard tool.
I would recommend using CTRL+F8 to keep an eye on your frame rates.
As a SH5 player I am used to playing with lower TC than 1024 so it does not bother me too much accept after leaving port in friendly waters I like to ramp it up a bit.
No problems regarding the eye patch works for me rather than the stock creepy eye.
