Can't find traffic on the US East coast?

[Ducimus]

In the past ive seen complaints about being unable to find traffic on the US eastern seaboard.

Well, here's a bit of a clue for you, just incase you missed the memo
(that memo being most of the traffic is up on the continental shelf in 30 meters of water with fairly regular patrols by DD's; - but theres a couple spots where they come off the shelf)


I was a busy little bee.


Can you guess the grid?


Here's a couple of clues:

I se you have sunk 3 neutral ships also. (marked grey on your map)

You trigger happy bastard :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sometimes you get grey markings if the weathers involved or at the extreme sensor range
Neutral are normally green

I sank a couple of neutrals, not on that patrol, but the next one, and yes the sink markings are green, not grey. A couple fat 20K tankers in ED98, i shot first, ID'ed country later. I didnt see the neutral lighting until the torpedo's were already on the way (3000 meter shot, light fog). After that i just sat there cursing.

Ive had no problems on the east coast sail in the shallows or close to them and you will find a convoy sooner or later.

I wonder why the Lake Ship showed up in your patrol log as KLAKE instead of Lake Ship.

:hmm: I suppose its possible i fatfingered the keyboard when editing the englishnames.cfg and unintentinally stuck a K in there. Ill doublecheck when i get home. If so, ill blame it on the cat.

if theres no K, then well, i didnt do it!

edit: ( could be a bug not of my doing, K as in captial K, along with LAKE seems intentional. regardless, ill doublecheck when i get home from work.)

KLAKE is the class name
EnglishNames.cfg should read KLAKE=Lake ship

No traffic in the US . You have not been on the Deagan in New York City on a Friday during rush hour....now that is some traffic!!!

[Ducimus]

meh, ill check later. Not a big deal really. More likely then not, it's a bug of my own making. although for the class name to show up, id have had to totally remove the line associated to it in the englishnames.cfg, something that i highly doubt i'd have done.

Only other explanation i can think of is if you included an updated version of englishnames.cfg in the december fix and i forgot to update that file my own mod directory, which is also entirely possible as i consider the file trivial, and would have overlooked it, not prioritizing it at all.

Yes, KLAKE is correct class name - that is why I was wondering why it would show up incorrectly. :p

Ducimus, is that GWX? if so, how did you get the ship icons to display?

EDIT: Fixed it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

yeah its GWX, but i didnt change the ship icons. The sunken ship icons behave as normal. I didnt do anythign to them at all.
