Cast adrift

gordonmull · 08-27-08, 03:19 PM

Came across a convoy in BF18 and it all went a bit pear shaped. I'm sitting with both diesels destroyed and the batteries flat. It used to be that you could teleport back to base, something I only ever used in these situations to simulate a tow. Since I've installed GWX2.1 this option seems to have vanished (didn't see anything about it in the manual).

Seems to me that BdU aren't going to leave an entire uboat crew to rot in their boat so close to France. Is there any way I can get my battered tin can back to St. Nazaire or is that it for U-36? I'd rather not add it so quickly to the rest of the armada I've left littering the atlantic seafloor!

Using GWX2.1 and Commander 3.1, nothing else.

BTW GWX 2.1 is immense! Thanks loads to all involved.

U cannot "teleport" if ure submerged or any ships are in range. Play sitting duck til nothing is in range and surface then it should work.

Thaks anyway but I've already tried that. I waited till the convoy was long gone before I tried the teleport. I've TC'd a few hours, tried again then repeated a few times and I'm still unable to do it.

I use gwx 2.1 for a couple of months now and i was always able to teleport back to base. Can a bugged installation be the reason ?

Odd, shouldn't normally be a problem...:hmm:

Have you tried rowing?

Are you by chance playing at 100%? That will do it every time.

As he said before. Use the force gordonmull (or your magic button under the navigation table), It will get you back to base.
