Finding Long and Lat.

wooster27 · 09-20-10, 11:18 AM

I have recently added the GWX expansion and while at sea have been getting messages to go to locations on the map quoted in Long and Lat, but I cannot see them on my nav map, it only shows the grids. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to subsim Wooster.

I'm pretty sure that these radio calls are just sort of color text and even if you find your way to that lat long either they will be long gone or never existed at all.

I could be wrong however it would be better to ask in the appropriate forum section as its been a long time since I dabbled with SH3.

Try asking here...

Yup, if you can find those locations on the map you won't find anything. Those messages are purely for immersion.

WELCOME ABOARD!

Also we do have a forum just for SH3-related matters.

Much easier to find answers there.
