GWX2.0: Black Sea patrol grids missing

Jay · 12-31-07, 04:46 PM

As per the instructions in the GWX 2.0 manual, I used JSGME to install the "GWX Black Sea Campaign Files Only" option prior to starting a career with the 30 Flotilla in Costanza.

According to the manual (p.172), there are three (3) Black Sea patrol grids. On each of my missions, I've been assigned a grid to patrol, but the grids do not appear on the Navigation Map (F5). Is this because the limitation in SHIII mentioned on the same page (i.e., you can't earn renown in the Black Sea), or am I doing something wrong?

I started my career in the Black Sea too and I have the same problem. Not only is it not listed on the map but I also don't seem to get any credit for reaching the grid.

So far, it's all pretend on the grid stuff.
The grids have been elusive till lately.

As the enemy have been too, sailed into Pola, surfaced in broad daylight and it was deserted. Not one contact the whole patrol!

Isn't there a JSGME mod that needs to be enabled for the Black Sea?

Hi!

There is a stock Silent Hunter III limitation that prevents GWX from displaying anything but the stock Silent Hunter III grids. Page 174 shows the grids on a map of the Black Sea since we couldn't display them during the game.

LMAO no worries
I take it you have the Black Sea campaign files enabled or the Merged campaign files ?

You wont see anything there if you dont

A visual reference

Normal campaign files

Black Sea campaign files

Indian Ocean campaign files

Merged campaign files

So that's where my green crayon went to

Sorted!

Sorry, but I'm still a bit confused. My assigned patrol grid was OST and even when I go to the very east side of the Black sea I don't seem to get credit for reaching the grid. Is this supposed to happen due to the limits of stock SH3? Page 43 of the manual did say that the Black Sea campaign files were supposed to work around the limits that prevents gaining renown.

Correct.

Patrol areas outside the Kriegsmarine grid map as presented in SH3, do not yield renown points for reaching a patrol destination... and secondarily the same is true for spending 24 hours in an assigned patrol region outside KM grid areas.
