Default Where is 'THIS' file?

What file allows me to adjust the time compression of my U-boat near land so that it is faster than X4. I downloaded the kiel canal but it takes forever to get through it at x4 doing 7 knots in a type II. Is there a way I can set all my waypoints throughout the canal and have my U-boat zoom through them all at X1024 or X2048 without my boat running aground?

Thanks in advance!

What FILE though? I see the 'main.cfg' file in the data/config folder
and I have tried to tweak that but it is not reading it from there.



This is how mine currently reads....



[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=128 ; ISNT THIS THE ONE? WHY DO I ONLY GET X4 IN GAME?
CriticalDamage=128
CrewEfficiency=128
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=32
EnemyDetected=1
RadioReport=1
Particles=16
PrayState=64
HunterState=64
3DRender=1024
Maximum=1024

Hello,

Not sure about zoom, etc. but you can adjust acceleration for the narrow canals.

There are -2- files to adjust, for increasing TC near land.

There's a 'main.cfg' in your My Documents\Sh3 folder (folder where game-saves are), and another 'main.cfg' in your Sh3\Data\Cfg folder.

Open both (notepad, etc.) and change "LandProximity=" to something higher. Both main.cfg files must be identical.

I have it set to 64 (64x TC), as crew fatigue doesn't set-in at anything above 32x TC (with stock game settings at least).

An example below, in both 'Main.cfg' files:

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=64 <-------- Default is 4x, adjust here; 32, 64, 128, etc.

Just be a bit careful running near land at higher TC
