This was the first submarine command for her captain. I wished to emulate this, by starting a career in 7th Flotilla at the start of 1941 in a type VIIC.
I made sure that "SH3 Options | Career Options | Use historic U-boat availability dates" was checked.
I edited "SH3 Commander\Cfg\U-boat availability.cfg" to set 904_Month1=1 in the section [SUBMARINE1]
...
When I started SH3 Commander, I selected "Set up for a new career". I typed in a name, selected year 1941, month 1, and 7th Flotilla. When I tried to select a u-boat type, the only choice available was VIIB. It is not until 1941/06 that VIIC is an available choice.

I think I now know what was causing this problem. SH3Cmdr was not handling comments appended to lines defining values.
Code:
904_Name1=VIIC
904_Month1=1
; includes 1 month training
904_Year1=1941
The example above works without incident. What I had was as follows.
Code:
904_Name1=VIIC
904_Month1=1 ; includes 1 month training
904_Year1=1941
SH3Cmdr won't handle this.
What are the intended rules regarding comments appended to lines? I have seen quite a few such comments in some out-of-the-box SH3Cmdr .cfg files, so I assumed that such comments were intended to be OK in all cases.
