Peter,

I just composed a long-winded reply to you in another thread, and the darned thing got "poofed" away into cyberspace when a background utility program decided to do system maintenance. My whole post just disappeared right near the end of finishing up.

Arrgh, do I really want to type it all out again? I am so ticked off to lose my work like that.

Anyhow, I seem to have it sorted out now. Let me see if I get this right, do I use SH3 Commander to start the game, or use the starter within the LSH2015 folder that was created on my desktop?

What I am currently doing is start the new career via SH3 Commander and use it to start my game, and then at the end of my patrol I save the game, award any medals and qualification, apply for a transfer if necessary, then exit the game. I go back into Commander [which automatically rolls back each time] and update my personnel file, manage my crew, visit the nightclub, then start my next patrol. The game launches and I then make any changes I want to my boat, torpedoes and upgrades, then go out on patrol. I am now ready in my current career to go out on patrol 4.

I did an Erpro-based patrol in a IIA in the Baltic, transferred to a new flotilla. Did a real war patrol in my IIA, got back and transferred back to Erpro to get a IX. Did a cruise in the Baltic [two ships sunk] and while at sea got a message to return to Kaseberg. At base I applied to Wilhelmshaven, and now I am ready to go out again on patrol 44.

So if I am understanding correctly, I don't have to use SH3 Commander to start my first career patrol, but use the LSH.exe to start the game? Then after that first patrol can I use SH3 Commander? I confessed to feeling confused; I am using Commander at present the way I used it with GWX.
