The pennants fly on a line extending down from your periscope, all you have to do is raise it the 'scope. But I think you have to be inside the harbor for them to display.

Glad to be of service...

Here's hoping for a great patrol and happy hunting!

They raise as long as your seen as "In Port" the way to check this is your watch crew, if they have their binocs down, then when you hit ctrl+pg up when the scope raises all the way the pennants will come out. If not though, then they wont.

Just thought I'd add the "In Port" condition is triggered within a maximum of about three hundred meters from the dock. Once you pass this point, the pennants will no longer display.

Well, they are tonnage pennants representing the ships you've sunk, so that is probably the case.

I dunno, I raised the 'scope when I was still sitting at the dock before even leaving on a patrol, when I was testing, and it came up with a whole string of pennants with tonnage marked on them. I still haven't looked into the files to get a grip on what exactly I have to edit to match my own tonnage sunk at the end of a patrol, but it appears at least as though there's some default info in the files that just gets changed as needed.

Well, I knew I had to edit something, I wasn't sure whether it was a matter of adding/disabling some of the text in the files or just redoing the graphics.

But is the number of pennants fixed then? I'm assuming you'd only want as many pennants as needed to show your success.

I have no clue as to how many thingys show.

Did I just say thingys show?

I don't play the Game, I just Mod it!!
I do READ every bit of information in any given thread or DL though.

Actually I was on my way to figuring out the pennants when I started having trouble with gfx drivers and whatnot.

Still trying to figure out how to take screenshots, since the Res Fix seems to bork that now even after reverting to the older drivers. It was never a problem on my old system, now the whole game just freezes.
