I received the message below, but can't seem to decrypt it.
I can't tell if the second letter in the first indicator group is a 'O' or 'Q'.
I've tried both with using the date of Aug. 31 1939

On another note, is there a way to set the radio log date as the same format as the radio message? (Radio message format is Time/Day/Month/Year; Radio Log is Month/Day/Year Time)

Got the message decrypted.
Operator error, and the Q's look like O's

Now just need to figure out the data formatting in the radio log.

Hi blkdimnd
Like yourself I have also had problems with the O and Q.
I have cataracts and have to use a magnifying glass to try and see the difference.

Never heard of a mod that encrypts orders.

Wonder hows it like and how are you supposed to decrypt it lol :hmmm:

It's included in the Wolves Of Steel Megamod. Full Enigma system, with instructions, decypher codes and much much more.:Kaleun_Salute:

Did you check OFEV options? I think there's option for something similar...:hmmm:

To edit date format in encripted messages you'll have to edit every single message manually...Not really a "go" IMO...:yep:

If you look at the O carefully you will see it has a very tiny piece missing where the Q tail would be.
If you look at the Q carefully you will see that there is a tiny lump/protrusion showing.
The more you work with Enigma the easier it is to spot the differences.
