Default Merchant Descriptions

I'm a fairly new user of GW 1.1a and when I open the Recognition Manual, all of the ships are named "Contact" rather than C2 Cargo, Liberty Cargo, etc. I notice that in the Museum they are also all called Contact there too.

Is that how things are meant to be in GW 1.1a?

Cheers

KC

Hi Kiwi

You need to disable the 'generic contact' mod

You'll see it all explained here:

Just load up the installer again and install GW without the Generic Contacts mod. You don't even need to uninstall GW first.

Probably. You'd better return to port first, though, and probably roll back SH3 Commander.

Ok, but is it possible to have the "right" name on the reco manual and logbook but at the same time not having the type of ship displayed on the notepad when it is very far (when passing the periscope on it you have "Cargo", "Coastal" or "tanker" even at 15+ km... it's a joke!)?
