Can´t have a fun gameplay in GWX - Kiel Channel

Icewarp · 01-15-09, 09:54 PM

I just installed GWX and I loved all the changes they made. However, I´m having a hard time with simple things, maybe I played the game a long time ago and I´m being a noob :P

I select Carrer and 1'st Flottila.I start at Kiel, and select the pre-set navigation through the Kiel cannal, a nice adding to the game. But the problem is that the time compression only stays at 4x or 8x due to channel proximity with ground, so in the end it takes even more time than going over N. Is there any way to fix this?

you can change the max time compression at different situations using SH3 Commander, it's a must, it has a lot of cool stuff.

Thanks, will try it

Just remember this will effect you being near ANY dry land, so make sure you don't slam into an island one day. I've got it set to 256 max near dry land, though on my computer it typically lags above 64 or 128 in the Kasier-Wilhelm.

Just a minor warning to hopefully prevent some heartache.

Also works Wolfie's Tweek Pak.

Enjoy!

Hmmm I thought GWX set the proximity to land to 128 by default

As posted use SH3 commander to set the the TC for that
Very useful program in many many ways also

Thanks for the help guys. One more question:

Do I need to really have this enabled to get additional enhancements with the mod or GWX offer this by default?

bigboywooly · 01-16-09, 04:45 PM

No that just gives the labels on the nav map in English rather than German
Wont add anything else

You only need the Late war sensor added in if playing after Oct 44
You only need the Med aircraft skins if actually playing in the Med otherwise Atlantic aircraft will have Med skins
And only need the VIIC\41 if using a VIIC\41 ingame

If however, you meant the Merged campaign, only enable that if you have a fast PC (it will increase loadtime) or are planning to sail from the Atlantic to the Indian ocean, otherwise you won't really need it.

as to the TC issue, this happens sometimes the first time you run the game, don't ask me why, I don't know, usually it clears up the next time and you can go to 128x in the Kiel Canal, if not use sh3 commander
