Default XXI availablility in 1944

To get a Type XXI U-boat in July 1944 in NYGM 3.0 (or 3.1), do the following:
1. Create in your mods folder a file called 'EarlyXXI', and create in it a sub-folder called 'data', and in the sub-folder create another sub-folder called ''Cfg'.
2. Copy from your NYGM set-up these two files into your new folder 'mods\EarlyXXI\data\Cfg': basic.cfg and flotilla.cfg.

Make the following changes to each file in your EarlyXXI folder: (You need to change ONLY the lines marked 'Early XXI', a total of just three in all.)


For file basic.cfg:
[SUBMARINE3]
NrMinOff=4
NrMaxOff=6
NrMinPO=14
NrMaxPO=24
NrMinSeamen=26
NrMaxSeamen=34
NbVersion=1
Version0=0 ; XXI
Name0=XXI
Month0=7
Year0=1944
DaysSpentInBase=1;;150 ;259 ;; 1 for Early XXI

For file flotilla.cfg:
Flotilla7=909
TO7=944
NbStartingDate7=2
NbDate7=2
Emblem7=data/Emblems/SubEmblems/Flotillas/33rd flotilla.tga
NbBases7=1
Base7_0=759;flensburg
Date7_0_0=1944
Month7_0_0=7
Date7_0_1=1945
Month7_0_1=5
DeparturePointLong7_0=1133818.000000
DeparturePointLat7_0=6577824.000000
Heading7_0=314.727997
NbUboats7=2
Uboat7_0=1
Uboat7_1=2

Date70=1944
Month70=7
Starting70=Yes
TypeSub70=3; VIIC/41 ;; EarlyXXI
VersionSub70=0;; 2 ;; EarlyXXI
iNbName70=3


Now activate your new mod 'EarlyXXI' with JSGME, *after* all other mods.
Do NOT use SH3Commander, which complicates things.

You will now be assigned a Type XXI U-boat in the 33rd Flotilla as soon as you start a new career, selecting 1944 and 33rd Flotilla. I've tested it, it works fine.

Do NOT activate the FuMB37NYGMXXIII mod supplied with NYGM, because it turns the XXI boat into a XXIII boat, and will probably cause a crash.
