Hello everyone,

I was browsing the Data/Menu/Gui/Layout folder and came across orders3.tga

My question is this: does anyone know how to use the Kiel Kanal order In and Out function, and where I can find it (which officer) ?

Is this GWX ?

thank you

when you start in Kiel and want to use the canal give you navigator order 'search pattern' and you'll see the options from your post

problem is that I' ve installed a mod and something went wrong, some of the icons (as in screenshot above) are not visible as they should. will make a screenshot later.
so thats why I didn't notice it before.

thank you anyways

Have you enabled the 'integrated orders' mod?

screenshot explains everything it should look like this:
(ooops the arrow is a bit bigger...)

No intergrated orders isnt necessary
Click on your nav then patterns
You should then see Kiel inbound and outbound

When in port in Kiel
BEFORE moving click Nav then patterns then Kiel outbound
The route appears on map
Click return to course on Navigator and the boat will follow the route

This is a stock option on GWX. Also disposable on Integrated Orders for GWX.
This great idea is from Stiebler (NYGM). I just adapted it for GWX making a new .tga, adjusting the waypoints and others small tricks.

When you start a patrol on Kiel the first thing that you need to make is to go to your Navigation Officer and choose the Kiel canal Out icon. Then choose "Follow waypoints" and just sit and see. :D

After finish your patrol you can make the same to come back to Kiel: just make sure that your last waypoint finish exactly over that "Kiel canal Inbound point" on the map and then choose the "Kiel canal In" icon! It's all!

Thanks to Stiebler for this great idea!
