Or build one of the various angle solver disks and learn how to use it. If there is one I should advise to you, then it's Hitman's Attackdisk. It is so versatile. (But maybe a bit daunting for a beginner.) I don't really understand your problem with bearings.

Savegames are notorious for being buggy. Ubisoft never gave it a thurough testing, or so is the concensus. In regards to your experiences, the rocking sub at savegame start is familiar. It's as if all the important events earlier in the patrol happen again. However, the patrol ending in death should not normally happening. But it sometimes does. The following is from the GWX 3.0 manual. It has a good list of the most important bugs in stock SH3, usually with a workaround. Lucky for you, there is one for you aswel.

Hi Pisces,

Thanks for the info. I've been trying to edit the Campaign files but I have two problems that keep popping up.

The first problem is that my weather isn't all zeros but "5.000000". Is that good or bad? Should I still continue to change it to "4ll"?

Also, what exactly are the two bars behind the 4 in "4‖". Are those two small "L's"? (ll)?


And here's my second problem. I cannot save the edited mission file in either WordPad or Text Editor. I am running Windows Vista and I have set SH3 to run in simulated Windows XP format with administrator control. I have removed the administrator control but I still cannot save the mission files. The computer keeps asking me to specify the correct path and I even manually save the edited file in its Ubisoft-Data-Campaign... folder and I still get the same message.

This stuff is really frustrating. You'd think that they'd test this game better before releasing it. A working save game function in this simulation is a much. Imagine having to start out in France or Germany over and over again after saving your mission in the middle of the Atlantic or something.
