A bunch of questions...

Greetings,

first, my utter respect and only the highest regards for the subsim-community. What an outstanding achievement, what a great nexus for everyone interested in naval warfare simulations. Now, a few words to clarify my situation. I have been playing SH3 for a few weeks now. I used LSH, changed over to GWX, tried NYGM, and went back to GWX. My current setup is GWX 3.0 Gold, h.sie's fixes and SH3 Commander with the corresponding .cfg files for GWX.

I am thinking about getting the MAGUI and the Merchant fleet mod.

Now, my question:

1. While the thread for the MAGUI mod does not list any problems, are there problems that could occur while integrating MAGUI in my current setup? I would re-run the h.sie process, of course.

2. I read about some problems caused by the Merchant fleet mod in conjunction with GWX. Is this still a thing? What do I have to expect? My highest concern is a very stable version.

3. Is there any way to disable the sound notification upon receiving a telegram? Some may refer to it as the "beep beep beep beeeeeep"-thing... it is really, really annoying.

4. Is there a way to reduce the sound level of the pings while being tracked by a enemy vessel? It is quite loud compared to the other sounds and after a 2 hour chase, this really drives me crazy. Immersion is great, but not for the price of actually loosing my nerves.

5. I saw some mods using the Sextant and I would like to navigate my u-boat. Do you have any recommandations? I would even like to have a ship position on the map, which becomes vastly inaccurate over time, if I do not step outside and use the sextant for exact positioning. Doing this would update the position on the map and the cycle begins again. I hope you know what I mean. I read, that SH3 uses a few weird settings for this purpose, like a kn being 1.8km and not 1.852km and so on, but one could work around that. Alternatively, doing all the navigation would be something to consider as well.

6. Is there a good way to get a range guestimation using the sonar/Funkmessung? I am currently sailing in a VIIB, will there be a way to get a somewhat decent range from underneath the surface?

Thank you guys in advance, those are a lot of questions, some might be dumb, sorry for that.

Best wishes and fette Beute,

Kng
