Adjusted "Malfunctions + Sabotage" function in SH3 Commander: no effect.

The German telegraph commands on the telegraph icon read as follows:

1. stopp,

2. kleine Fahrt,

3. langsame Fahrt,

4. halbe Fahrt,

5. große Fahrt,

6. äußerste Kraft;

these would be equivalent in English to:

1. stop,

2. dead slow,

3. slow,

4. half,

5. full.

6. flank.

However, in reply to the above telegraph commands, the helmsman states in German that which would be in English as follows:

1. All machines stopped!

2. Slow ahead!

3. One third ahead!

4. Ahead standard!

5. Full ahead!

6. Ahead flank.


Of late, my helmsman's response to command 6 notwithstanding ("Wahnsinnige Kraft voraus!" - literally: "Crazy power forwards!"), my telegraph needle goes to "stopp" and the boat responds by closing down all machines.

This does not happen with the astern commands.

Furthermore, at the beginning of my last two missions, one out of Wilhelmshaven the other out of Kiel, in the latter a trampsteamer rammed a wharf and exploded, whilst in the former my escort, having escorted me into the sound, returned to Wilhelmshaven where it made a Kamikaze run at wharf and thereupon exploded.

Perhaps this could be a result of all the mods that I have recently added. I have a suspicion that Racerboy's exhaust mods may be to blame: they produce no exhaust effect on my boats and seem to leave files scattered all around my SH3 file, even though I have used the Jones tool to install them.

You could be right, GoldenRivet: I also have the symptoms that you have mentioned above, most noticeably with the optics.

I shall "de-mod" and report.

Over and out.

PS And I've been trying to ad a signature to my mailings but no joy. Any advice? My intended signature is thus:

Die Lust der Zerstörung ist auch eine schaffende Lust.
