GWX Question: XXI snorkel mounted antenna

P-B · 05-01-08, 06:13 AM

Is it possible to enable the snorkel mounted antenna for the XXI from April 1944?,
if so how? Have tried tinkering with the Cfg files in the late war sensors mod with no result, but that is as far as my limited skills will go.

Many thanks in advance guys.

and thanks again for GWX 2.1 its awesome - just got bombed by a PBY coming out of nowhere with its Leigh light blinding me (VIIC Sep 43) - Real Iron Coffins style! need to get an RWR me thinks

A fervent wish of mine, but alas it appears that only one person knows how to do that, and he left the community about 6 months ago (or so I'm told).

Hmmmm
Not sure
BUT
If you plan on using the XXI I suggest you enable the late war sensors anyway
In tests seems tis the only files with which you dont get a radar destroyed message

Now whether the snorkel mounted radar is there then I didnt see

Worth a try

difool: This is not good news if true

BBW: I do enable the Late war sensors mod and it works just fine as described in GWX manual and the Snorkel mounted RWR appears on the XXI in Jan 45 allowing me to cruise snokeling in relative safety, before that (Apr 44 - 31 Dec 44) i am not able to, and snorkeling is distinctly hazardous to health

6 months? Wasnt this about the same time when Privateer got keelkauled?

Anyways, if there indeed has been some wonder-modder doing stuff no one else can, who has left SubSim, I surely havent heard of him. :hmm: I bet there is few who know how to make it, but the question is, will they?

Found the earlier thread about this:

So yes it appears that it ain't going to happen.

Not my area of expertise, but try changing the availability dates in Nss_Uboat21.sns

[Sensor 11]
NodeName=R02
LinkName=FuMO391
StartDate=19450101
EndDate=19451231
