Recognition Manual Question/Problem

Goat · 10-20-06, 02:38 PM

I don't find all the British ships in the Manual. At least not the Civilian Cargo Ships.
Is there some reason for a SHIII / 1.04b / GW game to NOT show them??? I couldn't even THROW a gob of diesel rag at the ship...without ID, range, etc... in High Realism.

Ummm what ship ?
IIRC all cargo ships show in the manual automatically unless there isnt a .sil for the ship in question

In mine I never see any civilian ships, only military ships. Any nation.

(when using 1.4b and gw1.1a)

Yeaaaa... Coda. I got so close I could spit on their deck... I ***KNOW*** that was a Brit flag. I seem to recall from the Naval Academy that this was a 'coastal freighter'. I know for sure it wasn't a 'C2'... and I'd guess there are a lot of those around?

I wonder if there is a part of The Manual that you can't see without somehow dragging it somewhere?

How the heck can you set up for a shot if you can't I.D. and get distance, draft, etc ??

Two things: one, if you click on 'ship' at the upper left of the notepad, that will automatically open the recognition manual to the correct ship type/class. Secondly, the merchants aren't found under their nationality, but under the heading for merchants (I don't remember how that is spelled a-la-Duetche). Regardless of the nationality, you'll find the merchants only in the merchant section of the manual.

GOT IT!!! Thanks to that Ravishing Beauty, 'Avon Lady' ... if indeed Avon Lady *IS* a lady ...

Check it out... in the Rec Manual you will sooner or later find "HANDELSSCHIFFE"....
which apparently is Deutch for 'merchant ships'.

I would never have found that as I am only fluent in three (3) languages : English, Filthy and Obscene...

Thank you, 'Ma'am'

Dunno 'bout that... I clicked on 'ship' on the notepad... and.. nothing happened. Maybe the ship was too far away for even Notepad to I.D. it ??

Edit: answer already given, no need to repeat it

You need to be locked onto it I believe.

The ship must be under your crosshairs and also you must have auto ship recognition enabled. If you use Grey Wolves during install it has an option which makes it so that when you point your scope at a ship the ship's type is no longer displayed. I believe it's called Generic Ship Names. If you selected that when installing GW then clicking the "ship" heading on the notepad won't work.

"Auto Ship Recognition" ??? I'm running GW 1.1.... but nothing installed except the Basic Files. I sure don't recall seeing " Auto Ship Recognition " anywhere. I guess I'll just have to get out there amongst 'em and try again.

Coda · 10-20-06, 05:53 PM

thanks, I learned something new.
