Which file to edit to give starting port a Type II instead?

Otto Heinzmeir · 02-28-09, 12:39 AM

I like GWX3 but Instead of starting with a typeII in Wilhelmshaven the Type II is assigned to Kiel. I tried using it there and cut through the canal but sub was destroyed by collision as I was using higher TC to speed through.

What I want to do is reassign the typeII to Wilhelmshaven. Is this a simple cfg file edit or is it a hex editor type deal? I have looked through the cfg files anf thought I found it in the flotilla.cfg but after trying to change a setting I still had the type II in Kiel.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

How the bugger did you crash? Just use the set Kiel Canal "patrol pattern" to get through.

I did you use that upon returning. I used the Canal In pattern. It lined up ok, I checked all the waypoints. I don't think it was a collision with the shore. It was probably with another ship or something. Either that or I het one of the bridge pylons. When the TC lowered and just kept clicking it up higher. The TC is always dropping to 1 every 2 seconds for a radio message so I never pay much attention to it. There usually is some ship traffic a ways into the canal. Apparently your suppose to nav in real time. But its about a 5 hour trip and I just wanted to save the game for later.

But my real question is I want a typeII instead of a typeVII in Wilhemshaven regardless of the canal issue.

You're probably gonna have to edit the Flotilla.cfg file. Unfortunately it's been a while since I've done it so I don't quite remember all the details.

Ok thanks. I was looking at it earlier and thought I had it but in game I still had the Type VIIB. I'll look at it some more.

Stock flotillas were all messed up anyway

Off the top off head you will need to alter Flotilla cfg as well as Basic cfg
May well impact upon SH3commander too as commander is set up to use the VIIB
