I have added Batvika Whaling Port for anyone who would like it let me know and I will show you were to place it.

It's not a big port, but could be used as a refuel base for northern trips. The port it's self was abanden durning the War.

Hi mate!

Where is Batvika :oops:?
Edit: Duh...never mind... Its located on Jan Mayen (Norwegian territory...:oops:)
I am used to the Norwegian name" Båtvika", or Boat Bay in english...

[Mush Martin]

we should put one in labrador where they landed the automatic weather
station. not historically correct but a land based fuel depot in north america would be popular.

Batvika Whaling Station on Jan Mayen Island.

Jan Mayen was not occupied during the World War II, and remained as "Free Norway". In 1940 the crew of the met. Station burned down their station and left the island, but in 1941 they came back with a few Norwegian soldiers. They re-established the meteorological station and were in continuos operation throughout the war years in spite of frequent air attacks from the Germans. Two German planes crashed on the island during the war. A four-engine bomber with 9 crewmembers hit a mountain near the Norwegian garrison in 1942. In 1950 a party of British geologists found the wreck of a German plane with 4 crewmembers on the south-west side of the island. In 1959 all remains of the crews from the two planes were moved to the war cemetery in Narvik.

In 1943 the Americans were allowed to establish a radiolocating station on the island. It was built on the north side and they called it Atlantic City. The main task of the station was to locate the secret German weather and radio stations on Greenland.

I just thought to use the old whaling station as a refuel base for northern trips.

[Reinhard Hardegen]

I am also adding the other Island stations as well, to have total use of the Island.

Here is the Whaling Staion, to be used as a refuel base.

[Shepelly]

Mate, I'll take it for a look if you don't mind.:up:

The more ports the better:rock:

[JU_88]

Can somebody make a port for Lerwick (near scapa flow) please, please, please. :lol:

[Reinhard Hardegen]

Can somebody make a port for Lerwick (near scapa flow) please, please, please.:D

I was going to work on that port too. I was doing some search on Lerwick as a sub base refueling station, as it was in the war.

[JU_88]

Lerwick was also a major base for the british submarine fleet, (Im working on the subs them selves)

Trying to add Whaling ships to it but it is giving me errors with the other ships in GWX being too close.:damn:

[Reinhard Hardegen]

Location is not the same I moved it a bit to get it to fit better in that spot.:up:

Placing a very small outpost here in Martin Bay, Lerwick, were the weather station was.

I will post here when I have it placed.

[bigboywooly]

Thanx Reinhard
Just realised that was the port I added in the tutorial on adding ports and naval bases
:damn:
So had it here anyway

[Reinhard Hardegen]

NP bigboywooly,

As I said I just moved it a bit to fit better.

[Reinhard Hardegen]

bigboywooly,

How do I add to the RND and SCR files to place the shipping and traffic I need to these new ports?:hmm:

Do I need the DEC 23 patch, if I loaded the GWX in Dec?

[bigboywooly]

Yep you do need the 23rd patch
Leave the Lerwick port for now
Will add that to GWX

[Reinhard Hardegen]

Now that I have the posts in place, how would I add ships docked at these ports into GWX?

[bigboywooly]

Take a look at this

http://files.filefront.com/mission_editor7z/;6596019;;/fileinfo.html

Something I wrote ages ago
Needs updating really but will get you going

Bear in mind in a couple of weeks the next update will be out which will replace the scr /rnd and lnd

For some reason I cant get this to work anymore, game crashes each time i try to load the game. I don't remember what I did to fix it and make it work. Can anyone please help me, I will send all the files I have.

[Reinhard Hardegen]

If any one has Bigboywooly's mission_editor7z I would love to have it again...

[Reinhard Hardegen]

I had it working at one time, get place to see...

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=105517

would love to start working on it again.

[SquareSteelBar]

If any one has Bigboywooly's mission_editor7z I would love to have it again...What mission editor do you mean?

[Reinhard Hardegen]

It was a rar file mission_editor7z , showed how to add ports and shipping in SH3

[Reinhard Hardegen]

I am trying to just get this to work again without any crashes, I put a lot of time into it, but lost my files from that time period. So I am trying to rebuild them, just can't get it to work.:damn:

[SquareSteelBar]

It was a rar file mission_editor7z , showed how to add ports and shipping in SH3

Do you mean a tutorial or the mission editor himself? The editor is part of SH3...
