Several problems.... for me!!

SH3/Grey Wolves....... Modified HP a1128uk. XP Pro. Graphics GeForce 7600. Processor AMD 64 2.20gigs. Motherboard MSI Amethyst-M1.0 Phoenix Tech. 3.47 03/03/2006. Ram 2.5MB. Audio Realtek 97.
(a) Had to do an "Emergency Surface". Can't stop "Compressors top-up noise" Though onboard compressed air shows full?
(b) On game am U-101. Get radio messages to go to say AM47 when halfway to BE67 (Mission order). If I do, the convoy etc. has docked in Liverpool and gone back across the "pond" twice!! Also am receiving messages that U-101 (me at the time) has sunk umpteen vessels, yet haven't fired a shot!!!!!
Any takers to help an Old SeaDog? Many thanks....Dusty.

Save a lot during a patrol, except when in combat. If something screws up go back to the save and it's usually fixed

The messages that you recieve are there for effect, it's just luck/unfortunate that you happen to have the same U number as in the message.

I'm not so sure about this part Dan. Recently I went on a first patrol and sank some Briitish ships without opening and reading the 3 Sept 1939 radio message where you are notified that Germany and England are now at war and that it's OK to sink British ships etc.

My kills were recorded as Neutral kills. When I re-loaded the save and went back and actually read the message, my kills were then recorded as Allied kills. There's a thread about this that I started - I'll see if I can find it.

I think Dan was talking about the messages on contacts and U-Boat reports. The messages that affect the war, like operational bases, war declarations, surrender etc are something totally different.

Not a problem Dusty. That will be $582.00. This does not include taxes, title, dealer prep and undercoating. Will that me cash, check or charge?

Just kidding. Welcome aboard man. Some great people from around the globe on this forum. It is my pleasure to converse daily with them and now you
