GW : Keil Canal - cool but too slow

Achtung Englander · 09-19-06, 04:52 AM

Upon remembering on my fourth mission from Keil that GW has the canal mapped - "wow" I thought this will save me a lot of time

and it did - virtual time that is !!. I saved almost 2 days and a one hell of a lot of fuel

BUT

because it canal is narrow time compression was limited to x4 for most of the journey. So in actual terms it took me an hour. If I used the long route passed Denmark I could have done it in about 20 mins

so the funny thing is I spend more real time to save on virtual time

you will not believe it - I sank too

I left it running to watch some telly - came back 30 mins later to find I collided and sank by colliding into that bloody lighthouse !!

Use SH3 Commander, it lets you tweak tc-settings. I have set my close-to-land-setting at 256x.

You will find a SH3 folder under "My Documents" on your computer.

The path is my documnts/SH3/data/cfg/main

Open the "main" file and locate the time compression settings (second section from top I believe). Change the setting for proximity to land from 4 to 32 and you'll be pleased with the canal. This will cut the trip down to 10 - 15 minutes.
