You can just give yourself 9000 in renown in the My Documents/SH3/Data/Careers Folder

Edit renown for your latest patrol.

...

i would like to add some fuel in my IXB: i patrolled grid GR82 (Cape Town) and heading back home, i realized that the odds to make it to Brest are low.

Which file must be tweaked ? I looked into the Carreer folder in \My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\Careers\,

but only found code and log files,... things like that.

Anyone ?

I believe you would find boat costs in one of the files in each boat's specific folder.

Solution 1: Set speed @ 5 knots and return home without cheating

Solution 2: Continue southwards and then...exit and warp back to base

Solution 3: Get SH3 Mini Tweaker, load file NSSUboat9b.sim change surface range to 1.000.000 nm, return home with full speed and then run again the tweaker and revert to the prevous value.

Many thanks, VonHelsching.

I tried option (3) (mini tweaker) with a value of 1000000:

it didn't work, i had been forced to a stop near the Azores and theres not even a shadow of a smell: my Diesel tank got empty. Brest is still 4500km away.

I'll try with a more reasonable 20000 value ?

1000000 was just an example. SH3 might not accept such a high number. Also it might be too late. if, say you have 2% fuel left.

I suggest to give orders to Scotty to beam the sub up.

hehe. I'd better try to catch some fish, have a good meal,
and gently wait to get sunk....

the basic setting for surface range was 11000; like yu said it was too late, giving a new value to 20000 did not work either.
