2 GB RAM : this your problem. MFM is very memory demanding.

Insert some ships manually if you want.

What you think about my chances with 4 GB RAM?

PS.
I just played GWX with MFM, but with type IID and with active mod Black Sea campaign files only...

I saw some usually ships, but they looks better than in GWX...
I don't saw any new ships from MFM.

You have a 32bit OS system so even if you have 4GB RAM only 3 GB is available.
For more RAM you need a 64 bit OS.

Activating Black Sea campaign files only , leaves the rest of the SH3 world empty so memory usage is smaller.

I have a question about installing skin packs for MFM. In readme it is written about using jsgme for it, but is it possible to use SH3 Commander instead of jsgme?

[Sepp von Ch.]

Yes, this is possible. Folder SH Comm-Date-etc.

Sink´em all!

Thanks Josef.
SH3 Commander is the solution for many problems

Thank you for contributing this mod, which has done much to enhance the game.
I wonder if you could advise me on how to solve the only problem I have, whicht is to do with the MFM tankers. When encounter a convoy there are always tankers lagging behind and when the convoy detects my presence all the MFM tankers slow down and stop, which means the convoy literally grinds to a stop!
This does not affect any of the additional dry cargo merchants.
Thanks

Apologies for the delay in answering. This problem is due to experiments with ship weight that I conducted before releasing the mod. To resolve the problem you can download S3ditor, go to the tankers' .sim files, click on the unit_ship tab, and reduce the object weight to about 10,000 tons or something similar.

Thanks for the tip Iambecomelife. Will give it a go

Forgive me if this sounds silly, but this would be done to everything in Data/Sea that starts with a "T"?

[BigRich]

That's me sorted with all tankers up and running. Thanks again!

[Jimbuna]

SINK EM ALL!!

All of the MFM vessels that start with "T" - yes. That prefix is for
[T]anker.

For the record, "M" is for "Merchant" and "O" is for "Ore Ship".
