Default GW Questions

Hi,

Just loaded up GW and SH-3 for the first time in a long time. I think that you need to include a small note in the read me as to what EXACTLY each option means in GW.

Questions:

1. What does the 24 hour crew option do?

2. If I want to switch an option after I install GW (like if I want 16 km vis instead of 8km or I dont like the 24 hour crew deal) then do I just rerun the GW install again and select the new option?

Thanks and I look very forward to the addiction!

Ok...

I just went to the GW webpage and I got an answer to my 2nd quetion. I can just rerun the install.

Still....

Anyone know what the 24 hour mod does or the generic contacts mod does?

Not sure about the first, but the second just lists every contact as 'contact'. Not Hunt III, or C2, etc. Just 'contact'.

#2. I used the 24 hour crew "fatiuge" optin w/gw1.1A--without storms or high winds--you only have to rotate your crew every 24 hours instead of 8 to 10 hrs to keep them lasting and fresh on a long patrol. storm conditions will make your bridge and diesel engine crew tire out faster. Iv'e been told that it is buggy but I guess I do not know enough about the fatigue system to notice yet.:hmm: Using this, I beleive Time Compress settings have no effect on the fatiuge one way or another.

This has been fixed. Actually it was the only (minor) fix required after the installation GW1.1a. It is required only for the users using the 24hour rotation scheme. Here´s a link:

The generic contacts mod forces you to identify manually every single ship you come accross. That means it's identity (by the flag) and it's type (by the recognition manual)

So all I need is the 5 GW files and the "24 Hour Fix" and that is all?

I cant wait!

I hope it is realistic!

Make sure you install GW through the mod enabler http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/products.html

That way if you don't like it you can always uninstall it without having to uninstall SH3.

Again....

If anyone from GW could post EXACTLY what each option does that would help me alot.

"No torpedos TDC" option (or something like that) ......What is this???
