but if you start your career after 1942 there is changes needed in the career start upc. I messaged the main office on how to upload file like this but no word back yet. if I can find out how to do that, I will upload the files and you guys can justrepalce your old files(after backing them up of course).
with coords for saipan, it puts you within gun range of the east coast harbor, can't get much closer than that for now. also, remember-leave port from out to sea- not from dock.
when I was trying different coords, a few times I would start a new career in 1943(using midway as a test) and I ended up in the middle of luzon island! lots of damage !!
I will start a new thread to find out how to up load the files and let you guys know.
I also know how to get the sboat start at fremantle or bisbane for Flying Ducthman, but need to upload that too. so I will get back to you all if I can find out how to upload,
later guys
