I will see of changing the radio signal cyclic rate a tad & see how it goes from there. ...Mad Mardigan

I've had pretty good results with the changes that I've made. I initially thought I'd created a problem when I sort of Melded a few of the existing mods together but now I'm happy with the way it's turned out.

Pretty sure it's as simple as cutting and pasting the MusicVolumeOnNews line with a volume like into each of the station sections in the ini. It seems to my somewhat undiscerning ear that all of the music and event clips that I've encountered are pretty much at the same volume.

To each his own on that. I do like the shuffle aspect of the radio station over the "play the same list every time" option of the gramophone. And I find the "we interrupt this patrol for an airplane" interludes annoying enough to have to keep switching back and forth.


There is also an added annoyance in that your actual Patrol date is not used for triggering radio events. Instead the Patrol Start date is used. I swear that on my last patrol I was sorely tempted to end the patrol even though I had fuel and torpedoes aplenty because I was so sick of hearing the same newscast about civilians bitching about the institution of nationwide gas rationing just before Christmas well into March.

Me too! I've got a "War Years" playlist set up in Windows Media player that I used when I first started playing this game a few years back and have always enjoyed Big Band and Swing era music more than most of my contemporaries.



Did you hear that Dame Vera Lynn recently passed away a few days ago at the ripe old age of 103?
