Are there any Radio News Bulletins?

Hullo there!

I've returned to Silent Hunter III to give this Grey Wolves X 2.1 mod a whirl, and I'm very impressed so far - despite a bit of chugging in the port!

Anyway, I remember in an earlier installation I had radio news broadcasts loaded into SH3 Sub Commander 3.1 that activated at certain dates. September 1939 for Neville Chamberlain wearily declaring war and convoy attacks, going through August 1940 for Battle of Britain etc and on through the war.

I was hoping they still came with SH3 Commander or GWX but no luck. Or if they have, they haven't activated. A couple of questions then for the most helpful mod board in the known world...

1: Do sound files play if they're down as .wav? Because they are in the SH3 Sub Commander folder in the date/month/data/sound folders. Do they have to be renamed as .ogg files instead?

2: If the above news reports of excellence are missing, does anyone know where I can pick them up? Last time I got them from U-boat.realsimulation.com mods site but that seems to have gone.

Bonus points for reminding me how to install 'em too.

Thanks for your help here in advance. I did a search but couldn't find anything specific to this.

Good hunting out there!
