Fair enough...I'm at 99% so I can maintain the option.

I've dug into this a little in GWX and La Spezia becomes a German base on 1 Aug 1941 allowing you to dock at it but not as a home port (it is the same as using Thalia or a milch cow). The 'La Spezia available for operations' message is sent on this date.

You can only be allocated to this base as your home base from 1 May 1942, so if you request a transfer to the 29th flotilla you'll end up at Salamis rather than La Spezia between 1 Aug 1941 and 1 May 1942.

There are three solutions I can think of:
1. Change the radio message so 'La Spezia available for operations' is sent on 1 May 1942. Not actually true as u-boats could use it earlier, just not as their home base.
2. Change the availability date of La Spezia to fit in with the 1 Aug message. Again not true as u-boats used it as a home base from May 1942.
3. Generate a further message 'U-boats are now operating from their home base of La Spezia' on 1 May 1942. This could be a good middle ground as it stays within the realms of historic accuracy.

All three fixes are easy enough and just need a small file change, so tell me which you'd prefer and I can talk you through it.

For my own interest, which supermod are you using? AFAIK GWX doesn't order anyone to transfer to La Spezia...

(Personaly, I'd just attemp the reverse passage through Gibralter.
Can't teleport, as the "realism" is at 100%.)

There is a way to play at 100% and still take screenshots using the free view.
At the data/cfg folder there is a file called GameplaySettings
Open it with and at the bottom you will find the [RealismPercentage] block.
Change the values as
NoEventCameraRealismPercentage=0
NoExternalViewRealismPercentage=0
and add the percatanges in any other field so the total comes to 100%

Now you can have screenshots , but you have to displine yourself not to use the function for cheating.

Of course the whole procedure can be called cheating.
I do it.
