I recently had to pull GWX out of my computer. Tonight did a reinstall & added 1.02. All seems right except on the F1 screen there is no U-boat info & Flotilla 1 & 2 news is also blank,as is Resupply info ! Any idea's for restoring it would be appreciated

German language? If so, it's already been raised here on the forum. :yep:

EDIT: Seems you've been having a few problems with the 'ol F1 screen... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=106120 :hmm:

Well, I've tested in-game and the Help displays perfectly for me. :yep:

Are you sure you haven't modded your help or menu files at some stage? If you open up en_menu.txt and you do NOT have the following lines:

;Help items
3950=HELP
3951=NAVIGATION
3952=STATIONS
3953=OTHER CONTROLS
3954=ENEMIES OF GERMANY
3955=RESUPPLY INFO
3956=UBOATs & DISTANCE INFO
3957=FLOTILLA NEWS I
3958=FLOTILLA NEWS II
3960=CLOSE

then I can say with 100% certainty that you have, for these are the lines included in GWX and are the lines needed to ensure the help file displays correctly.

If this is all well, then make sure your en_help.txt file looks like this (format notwithstanding):

#210 first is the separator character and the number after it represents tab length (in pixels)
