Graf? Doesn't your monitor overheat when you do that?
I know mine does!!!
I've gone through three this month alone :rotfl:

No sir, from the first post...

Type IXD2- 23700 nm (43892 km) @ 12 kts
(+25% yielded in-game target of 54865 km)

+25% was added due to the over-sized SH3 world.

Just to add on Kpts previous post. The IXD2 were capable (in design at least) to go around the globe without stop, so 55,000 Km seems a reasonable value.

x05BB=8094" in static.cfg, is nm placed after 8094 or not?

No, just the value only.

I can't remember the offsets for the Type II's. I don't have a hex editor installed to check (I'm ramping down my SH3 modding).

Kpt. Lehmann: I stand corrected sir. I make no pretence of knowing the true values...only the reality of my own ability to create typos.

JScones: Stand down, my friend. You've already contributed more than your share to the simulation.

Thanks both for the reply.

No worries, mate.

Regarding the IXD2's range: the following is from Lawrence Paterson's Hitler's Grey Wolves: U-Boats in the Indian Ocean, pgs 44-45:

" The real bonus of the Type IXD2, however, was its fuel capacity -- 442 tons compared to the 214 of the Type IXC -- giving, potentially, a range of a surfaced cruising for the new boat of 23,700 miles at 12kts with a standard diesel load or more with a lttle careful husbandry. In fact the IXD2s were capable of 32,000 miles at 9kts if five of the eight diving cells were used as fuel bunkers at the beginning of a voyage and the boat floated on three cells only."
