i was sent to a to BF10, there is no BF10?

[sea snake]

i play on silent hunter 3, with GWX 3.0. love the patch,real tough but was sent on a wild goose chase on my first mission from wilshelm 2nd flotilla to bf10. went to bf11 and a few other bf locations but wouldnt acknowledge for my mission. but im not complaining because the 3.0 gold is tough.

You don't need to care about it, GWX doesn't give you renown for patrol, and it doesn't simulate the Gestapo dragging you off for not obeying orders.


OR DOES IT????


No, it doesn't

No, it doesn't
That's what they all say... :shifty:



I KNOW NOTHING!

Ummm there is no BF10 grid allocated in GWX 3 flotilla cfg
Was in 2.1 and there was a fix for that which was included in 3
So

If you are getting BF10 as a patrol grid somethings not right

If you go to C:\Ubisoft\GWX 3 or SilentHunterII whatever yours is called\data\Cfg

Open the Flotilla cfg in Notepad

At the top should say

;Flotilla v2.0
;Based on Rubini's Unified Campaign (March 2006)
;Updated by JScones to incorporate Far East and Black Sea Campaigns, Salamis (Med Campaign),
;Trondheim, new/updated campaign grids, and to correct other minor file errors
;Special mention to Ducimus for his earlier work on Monsun Ops Campaign
;Updated for GWX 2.1 by BBW to allow August 1939 starts 24th April
;Updated for GWX 3 by BBW for moved port of Salamis 15th Dec 08

is that right - you don't get renown for plodding all the way to your designated patrol grid and burbling around it twiddling your fingers for 24 hours? You mean I could go off and find some entertainment and suit myself where I go, and I wont suffer any loss of renown for my disobedience?? OH WELL! Here I go then...! :p

[Weiss Pinguin]

Yep, just as long as your entertainment doesn't invole any sunken neutral ships. :lol:

[She-Wolf]

thank you ping - made my day you has :)

[Faamecanic]

You don't need to care about it, GWX doesn't give you renown for patrol,

Mine does :D now that I "fiddled" with the file. I find the whole needing renoun to buy ships/equipment/torps silly anyway.

[Weiss Pinguin]

I'd have just changed all the prices. ;)

[meduza]

I changed the file to receive 200 for patrolling 24 hours :oops:. It's cheating, I know, but it's an effective way for forcing me to actually go to my patrol area. :D

To compensate, I set a house rule not to spend renown if spending will cause a demotion. So basically after each promotion I start with zero renown.

[Faamecanic]

I got sent to Grid DT.... and as far as I can see there is no DT (not on the ingame map, the printed map, or the navigation stations map). So this was the first time I used SH3 Commander to give me a valid patrol grid.

[Jimbuna]

What has never worked (and I include stock) is the renown for returning to base.

So this was the first time I used SH3 Commander to give me a valid patrol grid.Yes there is, north-west coast of Africa: North of Cape Verde islands, southwest of Canary Islands, and West of the shores of Mauritania and West-Sahara.

Now you cant miss it.

(If you are wondering hoe I got all those grids in one image... somebody once patched screendumps of all of them together in one huge .bmp file. I have no idea anymore where I downloaded it. But I'm uploading it to filefront as I write this, incase someone wants to download it. http://files.filefront.com/Grid+Area+Onlyzip/;12963585;/fileinfo.html)

[infernus021]

I was sent to BF10 as well, its because of the flotilla.cfg not updated in the GWX -English Nav Map and Grid Ref.

Just disable it and you'll be fine.

Hope it helps others having problem with this as well.

You do realize your giving advice for a question that was answered three years ago?

It's a good thing he did, too. Cuz I found it helpful today, 6 years after the fact. :up:

[UKönig]

well I had the stock game give my patrol grid as BF65 or something, 61 maybe I can't recall exactly, but it was the waterways of Lorient. Our old departure point. When I got there, and stayed on station for 24 hours, it did not credit me with getting there. It was as if I disobeyed my orders...

I also get starting coords of 0.00N x 0.00E.

First time player. Bought SH3 on Steam and added 3.0 Gold. Do I need a more current flotilla.cfg?
