Thanks for the info.

When I am testing I am using an untrained crew that gives me a speed of just over 5knots 1/3 bells straight.
With Bremen, that second turn is very tight. I will be re-setting the waypionts for this one tonight and will take into account that most people will have trained crew so I must allow that turn to be achievable at speeds from 5 to 10knots if speed is 1/3 bells.

I must also take into account that turning rate is higher with trained crew. So a long slow turn, with trained and untrained crew will be different.

Great, thanks. Looking forward to it, m8.:)

Please see post 1 for v2.2

I have re-set all harbours so that increased speed and turn rate by highly trained crew is taken into account.

If you could post a reply in this thread stating your crew level, u-boat and harbour used, I would appreciate the information.:up:

here's some info that might help you to understand what's going on:

for either precision or non-precision nav if the distance to the waypoint is > 500m then the time until the next check of distance is either 15 or 30 seconds (can't remeber off the top of my head - currently onsite at a job). If the distance is < 500m then the time until next distance check is 5 seconds.

now I can change this if need be (the times and/or distances)

Thanks for the info TDW:up:

That makes sense now for some things I was seeing:

I was working on a radius 50m and 100m from waypoint to trigger turn.
On some legs, this was not the case as I would occasionally see a late turn.

I had put this down to the map tools only using increments of 50. Also if you check a 50 or 100m circle against the scale bar on map, they are a bit out.

I think this version will have solved all the issues from the past.

There may be one turn (no2 Pallice Harbour) where I have had to use a precision turn due to its angle and lenght. This turn does cause a continuous call out of headings. I will have at look at it again with this info in mind.

If there are any other issued reported that could be fixed with a change in time and distance check, that would be great:salute:

Just got home and will try this out. But just in case I'm wearing a helmet.:D

:har:

It was dangerous!:ahoy:

But nothing happened.:woot::woot::woot:

Phew - close one Sasha:D

But no helmets yet:yeah:

Yaaahh! Trev, mah boy yah did it! I exited Bremen without having swim back!:yeah: But note that when I activated the script the boat went to 12 knts instead of the 10knts the script indicated (Type VIIB with high crew points).

:woot:Good one Davy and thanks for the info:up:

Don't know how to say this m8 but the problem still exists. If I leave the script to run on its own I still hit the seawall when it turns at 030 degrees. The boat insists on going at 12 knts. However, the other time I tried I manually adjusted the boat's speed to 10 knts and I barely missed that seawall (at Bremen) at 030. I was heading straight into a ship at 016 degrees.:wah:

Looks like it's back to waypoints and I'm keeping that helmet.:cry:

Ok thanks Davy for the info:damn:

Could you do me a big favour, can you try again and go to outside view. When this issue is happening take a screenshot for me.

This will let me see where and if it is cause by under or over steer.

Could you then try one more time and this time when 1/3 bells order is given, override to ahead slow.

I may need to add a precision turn.

Big thanks for your feedback Davy, it really helps me:up:

Maybe for tight corners you could go to all stop and reverse slow / opposite direction until the sub faces the right way (imitates tugs sort of) .

OK Trev I'll see about those screenshots.
