change the starting date gwx3.0

I am using GWX3, my first patrol began on Aug 1, 1939, arent the nations neutral until sept 1939? Is there a way to change the date of my first patrol so it is closer to the start of the war?

SH3 Commander, you can change your start date to anywhere, your sub, your crew... the list goes on.

I think that he means starting a career in the middle of the month. If that's so I'm not sure that you can do it. Maybe you could by fiddling with the cfg files but I'd be careful about doing that; unless you know exactly what you're doing you can screw up your installation...

I don't think you can set a starting week in SH3, only a starting month.

I started a career from the 2nd flotilla in wilhelmshaven. I started in the year 1939. I went on patrol which started on Aug 6th 1939 and through the whole patrol there was no war going on. EVeryone was neutral. The war starts in early September. In my GWX2.0 installation when I launched the same career it started in the begining of September. Im not sure if a mod caused that or if the starting date was changed in GWX3. The whole patroling during peacetime where I can only look at the ships is not my cup of tea. Just wondering how to start closer to the time I can sink ships and not skip to a different year.

August start was introduced in GWX 2.1
If you wanna start in Sept use SH3commander to start

You can mess with the flotilla cfg to adjust it that way but not near those files at mo
