Now that you've finally found the Easter egg in one of our screenie releases... and just to perpetuate the myth that our mod is all fluff :rotfl:
Here is one thing we have done...

Modelled after the real thing...
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f117/KptLehmann/KBridge2.jpg
The only thing is that we have had to do it larger than the real one because the SH3 canal is three times wider than the real one due to coding and game limitations.
We are keeping the identity of the builder secret for now.

Yay, eye-candy! Keep it coming:up:!
You couldn't put roads, street-lights, and so on down too, could you (yes, you know me, I'm an eye-candy freak)?

Jeez, some people are never happy.:roll:
I suppose you would like to SMELL the bridge too aye?:rotfl: :arrgh!:
It looks wonderful :up:
It would be good to see cars or trains there :D
Kpt.Lehmann, don't be surprised, expectations towards GWX are big. I hope we will be pleasantly surprised :cool:

Yikes!! More things to plow into now! Looks nice but will those pylons be rendered on the map? Kiel Canal at 2x is painfully slow, and I'd hate to ram into that at 64x. :)
Ohhh, Excellent!!!! You guys are magic!!! Looking forward to GWX!!!:D:D

We went through this but I cant remember where it was supposed to be :damn:
It was on the river IIRC with locks at the canal entrance ?

It looks like a small rectangular harbor dock, just inside the canal on the north side, opposite from the patrol boat that's parked there in GW. I tried to find the thread with the photos, but I'm running out of time to look.

I still didn't find the pictures, but this shot is from Carotio's thread on his mod. His Brunsbuttel is actually the same as the original Canal Mod, and U-Boat War Aces also uses that one, so I don't know where this shot came from, but this is close to what the photo showed, maybe a little smaller:

Having never gone through the Kiel Canal, I thought I would be in a perfect position to test your statement Jmack, so for the first time ever I just left Kiel bound for the Canal.
I tested using GWX, which as we know has the bridge included.
Well, after manually plotting a course through the Canal, I simply set TC to 256 (at times 512), took to the Nav screen and cruised on through. I found that to sail through was prolly quicker than it took to plot the blasted route I was to follow!
I think this was an extreme test - I certainly wouldn't sail blindly through the Canal at high TC if I was being serious, but for someone who had never navigated the Canal before, I had no probs with it or TC.
In practice I'd prolly use the higher 256 and 512 TC on some parts, but a more cautious 8 or 16 on others.

First two times though I went at 64x without issues. Third time I rammed head first into the "invisible" lighthouse at the end. Knowing my luck, I'll end up ramming into the bridge. :)
JScones
09-03-06, 09:02 PM
Nah, the bridges won't cause problems. They're marked by dots in the centre of the Canal, so all you need to do is ensure that your waypoint slices through them. Then you won't hit any pylons. Easy!
what i mean is that TC for me wont go faster than 4x seems like it is too shallow

You need to change the the LandProximity setting under TIME COMPRESSION in your My Documents\SH3... copy of main.cfg. By default it is 4. Change it to 512 (or whatever you feel comfortable with).

GW1.1a is only downloadable in four parts due to it huge size.
What version of uboot war ace camapign are you useing?
The 1.7 version of u boot war ace is compaterble with GW1.1a but you will lose a few of the ports that you gain with GW1.1a. That is all i know but im sure the is someone about that would be able to advice you more.
As for the bridges and sail boat you saw in earlier posts this is what we have to look forward to in GWX.
Any way hope this helps.
