Convoy reports (GWX).

prowler3 · 12-04-11, 01:23 PM

In past SH3 lives I have gotten convoy reports on my map and radio from over halfway across the Atlantic. It's May, 1941 in GWX and only contacts in and around England and Biscay seem to be appearing. In other words, only contacts relatively close to me. My Contacts.CFG shows:

Display Range To Opportunity Radio Contacts=250 ;[>0] kilometers
Display Range To Important Radio Contacts=750 ;[>0] kilometers

Is this something that gets altered by GW? I'm wondering if, in the past, I was getting the reports from farther away because I was using vanilla, or WAC, at the time.

Your settings are correct.

I don't know if GWX modifies it, but I see no reason why you cannot enlarge the opportunity range. I've set it to 750km also.

No, there was no modification imposed.

HMMmm...I wonder why I used to get reports from much farther away? Could it be the German ale has clouded my memory and I may have adjusted the distance in the CFG, in a previous life??

Quite possible, your avatar suggests a persona of one who likes to indulge

Have you ever had my SpySat mod installed?
