Captains log..

[johan_d]

Is there any news on the possibility to enter your own observations and text in the captains log?

I find it immersive to have some AAR and journal to discuss afterwards here on subsim.com.

Captains Log Star Date 2157.

We entered Romulan space....



Oops sorry, wrong log.

Come on Kaleun's... nothing on this issue ? I couldnt find anything, but hopefully in SH 62 it will be in it.. but on the other hand I guess it is for a developper one of the most difficult aspects to enter in a game, to open a enterable notepad. Modelling a sea is a peace of cake..

It seems my stealthy 2 hour night approach has paid off! The juicy targets are 1000 meters off my port bow as I calculate my final parameters for surface attack. All ahead 2/3rds! Open outer...... WTF?!?!?!?!?

Server Fail/Disconnect?!?!?!?!?:o:o:o

You could always just do this in a text file on your computer. Same thing really.

Some of us already do. I do, but SH3 has a nasty habit of propgating exterior sounds onto every screen if you alt-tab from the game. Spending a further three hours listening to howling storm winds non-stop, even when submerged or when the weather is perfectly calm, is maddening.
It would cost them nothing to have a simple element in the game allowing you to type notes in a log book, with the option to retrieve them from a .txt file after the patrol is finished. It would be something that people would appreciate.

Typing up hand-written notes can take an awful long time. I would know, since I do that too.

No apologies will be made for my handwriting. A lot of these are scribbled down in a hurry.:DL

In any case, I've been prepared to compromise convenience for enjoyment of the game. I'd love it if the developers could meet me halfway on this.

If only some day some person would invent a machine based on electricity or maybe magnetism that allows the task of taking notes to be enhanced or automated to the benefit of the writer.

[Kapitanleutnant]

Congrats on not reading the thread, I guess. :nope:
I already take notes on my computer too. As I already stated SH3 has some glitches that happen when I alt-tab.

I would remind you that earlier subsims had options for note-taking in game. We're not asking for the world here.

[Frederf]

You mean like I outlined here 5-6 months ago and got massive approval for?
