Kiel Canal Question

[Nihilus07]

Hello mates. Im having trouble with the Kiel Out automatic course plotter. Everytime I use it, it plots the course in the opposite direction. Any thoughts?

[Iron Budokan]

When you are at Kiel use the "Out" course to leave. When you are coming into Kiel use the "In" course to arrive back to the docks.

Is that the trouble you are having...?

[Dowly]

Also when using the 'out', you dont need to put any other waypoints first. Just press the button when the game loads up. :up:

Anyone know a way to travel the canal at more than 4TC? I go the long way most of the time.:damn:

[Sailor Steve]

Use SH3 Commander. It lets you adjust time compression settings with just a click; as well as doing 100 other cool things.

If you use SH3 commander you can set proximity to land to 128TC

You can alter the main.cfg to get the same result IIRC

[Stoli]

I've got GWX installed, will SH3 Commander work with it? If you how do I install it?

Cheers!

[Morts]

yes it will work
you simply download and install
then download the GWX 1.03 commander files from the GWX page:up:

If you've already got GWX installed then just download the SH3Cmdr....don't forget the GWX103Cfg4SH3Cmdr file also....available from my sig :up:

Just beware of delayed sailing through Kiel Canal.

Thank you for all your replies mates. When I press the Kiel Out button, it plots the course, but in the wrong direction. It plots it East, as if the Kiel Entrance point was South East. It looks like a mirror image of what its supposed to be. The Result: Kiel Out plot starts North West, Kiel Entrance ends South East.

Let the game load but do not move your boat, press the Kiel out button and then follow plotted course. The navigator will do that for you:up: If you do not move your boat before setting the course it should work fine. The Kiel In course can be a bit tricky and can head of in the wrong direction sometimes but I have never had any probs leaving Kiel.

[Jimbuna]

The Kiel 'in' should work fine provided you navigate to the waypoint :hmm:

[Lzs von swe]

Yes, thats just the point Jim. If you put your last waypoint on the dot it should work fine:know:
But ones in awhile I manage to get the inbound course to go to... somewhere ells:yep:

[Jimbuna]

Sorry matey, but I've never experienced this problem before :nope: I use high magnification the closer i get in order that the start point is as close to the mark as possible :yep: :up:

[down and out]

Just a thought
You are in Kiel not Wilhelmshaven ?

:rotfl:

[Nihilus07]

Im stationed in Kiel. I'll try the Kiel Out button without moving my boat next time. Thanks for your help Kaleuns!
