Thanks a heap, do we have to start a new Campaign (I assume this will alter the scr layer) or just a patrol?:D
Cheers.

[bigboywooly]

No this - when run - alters the actual terrain

Think of it as a canal widening
If you have ever sailed from Konigsberg to the Baltic the chanel is very narrow and easy to take damage
This mod widens that channel

Need some screenies

Where can I download it? Sounds very interesting! :hmm:

[Venatore]

Do we know what the actual distance was at the Konigsberg/Baltic channel :hmm:

[Contact]

I noticed the land was slightly not accurate in the map according on what u see standing on bridge, if u plot your course only looking into the navigation map u will most likely hit the ground. Applying course by eye u will sail through ground on map in some places in that channel but successfully.

No I dont BUT the Sheer and other heavies spent time at Pillau so if they can get there

You will have to search for that
Original release was a couple of years ago

Thanks you for the feedback "bigboywooly", I was just curious, as I never knew about this channel, you could say I'm trying to self educate myself and doing very poorly at that ;)

[KeptinCranky]

Ah! groovy, always bugged me having to knock the dents out of my boat after visiting there, thanks mate! :up:

lol tis why I asked Ref for it
I was working on an alternative flotilla mod to run from Konigsberg\Pillau later in the war as a lot goes on in the Baltic late on and is the only place to really see the heavy German units but I struggled to get through the channel

Ref to the rescue

@ Venatore
lol we are all in that boat mate
Obviously from scripting and researching I knew the Scheer and others spent time there so I knew it should be wider
In fact the Hipper/Scheer\Eugen and Lützow spent time there

[Sailor Steve]

Of course you would bring up my old logs, which most folks made sure I know they found quite boring.

And I screwed it up again. You were talking about the terrain editor itself, and I thought you meant the mod, which was in your first post at the top of the page...:damn: :oops:

I'm spending way too many hours writing down ship names. I think I'm gonna organize all the stuff I've downloaded for 2.1 and spend the weekend just playing.

I'm having problems with: Gun empacement on left while exiting waterway from Pillau appears in water
Will be taken care of in a GWX 2.1 bugfix.

Even after apply of 2.1 bugfix :nope:

[Contact]

what ? no one else has noticed it ? well.. it's just a reminder that this ain't gonna fix by itself :p

[Contact]

Seems no one cares about this :\

[rifleman13]

Someone's bound to notice this mod!:up:

As soon as they found out the Pillau channel is too shallow for u-boats!:arrgh!:

The channel istelf is wide enough now, but the gun emplacement is left in water on the left side when exiting the bay.
That freaks me out a little bit, so I'm trying to forget this :D

[HW3]

The readme for the mod says it will be fixed in a GWX 2.1 bug fix, guess they forgot about it.:hmm:

[Jimbuna]

It has been fixed, IIRC :hmm:

[HW3]

:hmm: I was going on Contact's posts about it, should have checked it out first before posting.:oops: I have a test mission going in the area, will check it out and see.

Edit: I checked and it has not been fixed. I am running the last patch BBW released, the one with the AA ships, locks, and AOTD ships combined into it.

Correct. It is not fixed neither on AOTD mod nor in GWX 2.1 bugfix, period.

Cannot D/L the Pillau Terrain Mod from BBW"s FF site given at the start of this thread.

Top marks Steve....having been busy working on the Q Ship mod lately, I honestly wasn't sure whether this had been released publicly. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

This fix was very wanted in my "Greatest GWX Fixes" folder :yep:

[VonDos]

:oops: Hi everyone!
Where can i find this usefull mod?
I'm reinstalling GWX 2 , GWX 2,1 , "bugfix, aotdmadmax ships and iambecomelife aa"; is this mod included or separate?

If it isn't included, the link in the first post is broken from here; please, help :oops:

[meduza]

The Pillau terrain fix is not included in the bugfix. You can find a working link in the Sailor Steve's post, above on this page.

[VonDos]

Thanks, mate!

[Wolfehunter]

Is there anyway to uninstall it if anything goes wrong ?
