Limiting Time Spent in Port between Patrols

[scrapser]

I think I saw a thread here where someone spelled out the proper method of outfitting and replenishing your boat between patrols so the next patrol isn't so far into the future. I did a search but can't find it. I'm using the GW SuperMod if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

There's a setting within SH3 Commander to do that automatically, or you can try the following:

Patrol Start Date

You can modify the Basic.cfg in Ubisoft/Silent Hunter3/data/Cfg folder. The line NbDaysInBase=31, I changed to NbDaysInBase=42. This isn't necessary, but apparently it makes the time spent in base more clearly reflect historical realities or so I've read.

Or

My Documents/SH3/data/Cfg/Careers/"Your Capt. Name" and found the Patrols.cfg (not patrols_0.cfg). Under the [PATROLS 000] (or your last patrol) section I went to the end times and changed em to: EndYear=1939 EndMonth=10 EndDay=20 (ie Oct. 20th, 1939)

scrapser if you use SH3 Commander which is a must have programe i will say you can set your time between patrols to be as long or short as you want.

The defualt time spent in port is 28 days
Any repairs and upgrades will extend that time
As posted above you can set variables days between patrols with SH3commander
though I am not sure whether repairs and upgrades would be added to this

[Achtung Englander]

in the profile or data text (I am doing this from memory) foudn in My Documents and in the game folder find the code that says "time in port = 28" to whatever you want

I use SH3 Commander's 'Variable' option. I once had a type II go back out after just 5 days. I can't speak to repair times, as I haven't had any damage since I started using it, but I'll bet it's there.

Thanks...I'll check out SH3 Commander. I thought it was basically a program to tweak the crew but I guess it does much more.
