German language? If so, it's already been raised here on the forum.

EDIT: Seems you've been having a few problems with the 'ol F1 screen... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=106120 :hmm:

Well, I've tested in-game and the Help displays perfectly for me.

Are you sure you haven't modded your help or menu files at some stage? If you open up en_menu.txt and you do NOT have the following lines:

Code:
;Help items
3950=HELP
3951=NAVIGATION
3952=STATIONS
3953=OTHER CONTROLS
3954=ENEMIES OF GERMANY
3955=RESUPPLY INFO
3956=UBOATs & DISTANCE INFO
3957=FLOTILLA NEWS I
3958=FLOTILLA NEWS II
3960=CLOSE
then I can say with 100% certainty that you have, for these are the lines included in GWX and are the lines needed to ensure the help file displays correctly.

If this is all well, then make sure your en_help.txt file looks like this (format notwithstanding):

Code:
#210 first is the separator character and the number after it represents tab length (in pixels)

# FLOTILLA NEWS II
 `C0xFFFFAAFF`11th Flotilla`C0x0`

 `C0xFFFFAAFF`12th Flotilla`C0x0`
Start: January 1943, Type IXD2 U-boat at Bordeau, France.
End: August 1944, by disbanding. Most of the boats left for Flensburg.

 `C0xFFFFAAFF`13th Flotilla`C0x0`
Start: June 1943, Type VIIC U-boat at Trondheim, Norway (new GWX base).
End: Remain until the end of the war.
After Sept 1944, the flotilla incorporated the boats from the disbanded French flotillas.
The 7th Flotilla will automatically transfer to the 13th Flotilla from August, 1944. 
 `C0xFFFFAAFF`23rd Flotilla`C0x0`
Start: October 1941, Type VIIB and VIIC U-boats at Salamis, Greece (new GWX base).
End: May 1942, automatic transfer to the 29th Flotilla at La Spezia, Italy.
The flotilla operated in the Eastern Mediterranean.
 `C0xFFFFAAFF`The Black Sea (30th Flotilla)`C0x0`
Start: October 1942, Type IID U-boat at Constanza, Romania (new GWX base).
End: August 1944, automatic transfer to the 33rd Flotilla at Flensburg, Germany.
Valid grids for Black Sea scenario:

**Please, note that due to Silent Hunter III limitations, RENOWN will NOT be awarded  for reaching Indian Ocean/Black Sea patrol grid objectives. Renown, however, will be awarded for all other achievements.
Pls post your observations. Of course, it goes without saying that you MUST ROLLBACK SH3Cmdr before doing this check.

FYI both files (en_menu.txt and en_help.txt) will be in your C:\<whereever>\SilentHunterIII\data\Menu\ folder.

If you or the "boss" still can't make sense of it, feel free to email me the two files and I'll have a look... jonesoft at internode dot on dot net
