NYGM 3.0 Flotilla change help please

HI folks.

I'm in the WaW3 campaign, serving with the 29th Flotilla in 1944. My last patrol with them finished on the 13th March, and I sat out the flotilla's final patrol before it was disbanded.

We are now reforming as the 33rd Flotilla at Flensburg, with the option of the Type XXI, and intend to start out with a training patrol on 1st September 1944.

I've been given some alterations to make to my flotilla.cfg, but the result is that while the 33rd Flotilla becomes available on the transfer screen on June 3rd 1944, once 'transfer' is clicked, the new base is described as 'null' and the game locks up.

If I do the transfer late in August ( as opposed to March ), it all works fine, but then the 150 days commissioning time for the Type XXI pushes the date right through to the end of the year, too late for that training patrol which starts on September 1st.

We are working on this at the WaW forums, but if anyone has any hints, tips or experiences, it would be most gratefully recieved. To recap, I wish to transfer to the 33rd Flotilla around March 1944 and take a Type XXI or if that is not possible, transfer later in the year but reduce the time taken to commission the boat so that I can sail on September 1st 1944.

Here is the 33rd Flotilla section my flotilla.cfg as it stands with NYGM 3.0.

Flotilla7=909
TO7=944
NbStartingDate7=2
NbDate7=2
Emblem7=data/Emblems/SubEmblems/Flotillas/33rd flotilla.tga
NbBases7=1
Base7_0=759;flensburg
Date7_0_0=1944
Month7_0_0=7
Date7_0_1=1945
Month7_0_1=5
DeparturePointLong7_0=1133818.000000
DeparturePointLat7_0=6577824.000000
Heading7_0=314.727997
NbUboats7=2
Uboat7_0=1
Uboat7_1=2

I also use SH3 Commander, by the way.
