Alright, I'm revisiting Silent Hunter III with GWX because it was awesome as hell when I played it, but I had to uninstall it because of a lack of free time. With summer school wrapping up, I decided to hop back into the tin can and hunt some ships. All was going fine until I started a mission and got the object: Patrol BF10

Okay, heres the problem: Theres no BF10. The BF grids start at 11 and go to 99, so how the hell do I patrol this grid, where is it!? I know this is probably super simple, and I'm just being absent minded right now, but I can't find this damned grid!

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Forget it, go where you want, as you don't get any renown turning up or patrolling a grid. Only ships count that is if you got GWX2.1 that is to say. Get Silent Hunter 3 Commander and welcome on board.

WELCOME ABOARD!:sunny:

I have to agree with Steed. GWX is a great mod, but SH3 Commander will change your world - starting with the part that lets you assign your own grids. But he's also right about GWX as well. You no longer get renown just for going to your assigned grid, so it doesn't matter.

Welcome back Tiger, and happy hunting! (mind the pings :up: )

Does that count for GWX 2.0 aswell?

I think so, but you might want to check out the Basic.cfg to be sure. That, or just wait until Jim comes around and shoves my face in it.:rotfl:

The BF10 is a typo in the flotilla.cfg file.

Yeah, never had that problem. I mainly set up my own grids to patrol..but it is fun to get them from BdU, keeps up the realism.

Huh? I thought you only do not get renown in the area's like the Black Sea and the Indian Ocean. Area's that fall wide of the Sh3 engine? :huh:

Confused... do I still get renown for sailing back to base? Or is the only renown I can get possible through sinking ships... :hmm:

Jimbuna, Was it you or BBW that showed how to put the renown back in 2.1? I put mine back to the value's of GWX 2.0. There is also a fix for the BF10 thing somewhere, part of April fix?

Probably both of us to different people :lol:

I'm currently using the AOTD-AA-Ship-Schleuse-Bugfix mod.

Hey thanks guys, I guess I'll just go where I feel like and where important historical events are taking place. Maybe I'll be able to find a Murmansk Convoy one of these days!

Thanks for the warm welcome too, leaves a good impression on this forum!
