I would like to start a career in LaPallice, in the 3rd Flotilla.

Since there is no 3rd Flotilla in the stock SH3,
Is there a mod or a procedure to add it in the game ?

Thanks for help.

You'd have to replace an existing Flotilla, as tests have shown that it's not possible to add more Flotillas.

But it certainly can be done through editing Flotilla.cfg and Flotillas.cfg. Once you've replaced a Flotilla, you will then need to update the reference names used in **_menu.txt.

Ducimus has done something similar by moving the 12th Flotilla to Penang. Check out the d/l http://rapidshare.de/files/19824374/GPLAY_MONSUN_BOATS_1_1.zip.html for hints.

You'd want to set the start base as Kiel from March 1941 to August 1941 before changing to La Pallice between August 1941 and October 1944.

Personnaly i consider the 10th flotilla a 5th wheel. Ive often thought that should be made into the 3rd or the 30th.

I'll release it after im done writing in the grid assigments.

Cool, very cool.... I'm eager to sail/test this 3rd Flotilla! :up:

Cause i want to patrol North/West of grid BB55, with U-132
(Ernst Vogelsang, July 1942)
and sneak farther up the gulf of St-Lawrence with U-69 (Ulrich Graf, October 1942) ;)

Keep on the good work, mate.
