Release 2.5 of SH3 Commander is now available!

- Added ability to randomise next patrol grid based on Flotilla and date
- Added ability to view SH3 Grid Map from "Change" screen
- Added ability to play (random) .wav files in Nightclub
- Added French translation to the Nightclub and NewsMod plus corrected other minor typos in the French language files (by Martin)
- New "RenownAwardedEqualsRandomTonnage" key added to "Ship displacements.cfg" to provide support for NYGM Tonnage War mod
- "Medals and renown.cfg" file renamed to "Basic changes.cfg" to reflect true scope of the file
- Added new fatigue model - Grey Wolves 8 Hour
- Now filters out non-SH3 added entries in the Log_x.cfg files (implemented in R2.4.1)
- Minor code revisions

New included mods:
- Hemisent's simulated thermal layers (randomly adjusts active/passive listening device values to simulate the impact of thermal layers)
- Fix which forces correct Arctic water textures when playing career in 11 Flotilla
- Improved crush depth mod that sets correct crush depths, with minor randomisation, for all sub types

Note that prior to installing this release you must *fully* uninstall your current release. Don't forget to rollback SH3 Commander first and back up any SH3 Commander files that you may have modified!

To download, use your SH3 Commander "Updates" feature or click here.

After you have installed SH3 Commander you can reapply any add-ons such as the Combined Skin Pack.

SH3Cmdr is mutually exclusive to JSGME. Anyway, the SH3Cmdr installation instructions will guide you...

Thanks, JScones; you're kind of a freakin' genius.

If you follow the installation instructions you'll be right.

Thanks Jaesen, I'm about to make a large update to the NYGM Tonnage War + Terrain update (180meg), new recognition manual & skins (200meg), so this is probably the best time to install the new version of SH3 Commander!
Cheers.
