Type XXI in 1939 ?

[ntgeek]

Dear Colleagues,

I really like this game. Its intriguing and very good to play. There is one thing that I wish to do, however, that is to to get my hands on a Type XXI boat during the happy times. I know its not a tremendous challenge, but I really want to take the type XXI out for a spin in a situation where there are not something like a million super sonar equipped destroyers after me.

I am using SH3 Commander, but I must be doing something wrong. By itself, I can't seem to create a single mission since the name and grid are greyed out and the only way that I can populate that grid is by temporarily going to the new career option, putting in a name and patrol grid, then clicking down to a single mission where the information will be carried on.

The problem is that when I head back to the single missions, in the 1939 timeframe, I cant select the type XXI boat.

First, is this even possible?
Second, are there clearer instructions for SH3 commander somewhere?

Thanks,

GaterBotten

I had a go at this a while back, it just seemed like a good idea, but gave up after getting repeated crashes. Look at the thread http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ight=type+1939 there is a lot of information provided by people who have done it, warning!! there are a lot of files to mess with.
Cheers and good luck May and Lex A search on "XXI in 1939" will also find it

Hola, sobre SH-III con una expansión GWX, he terminado la guerra (lógicamente realismo 0), he usado tácticas generales y no me ha ido mal, he terminado con 30 patrullas y ya finalizada la guerra, al atracar en Trondheim mi IX, simplemente me dice que se ha terminado la guerra, me hubiera gustado que me hubieran dado opción a trabajar algo con el XXI en campaña, o que el final sea algo más real (ataques en puertos, cambios de destino... ) no se... perdonar el rollo es que soy absolutamente nuevo en esto.Ahora iniciaré campaña nueva incrementando el realismo.Sabeís algún mod o algun supermod para una campaña en la que el final sea algo mas "movidito"? GRACIAS

You say that like it's a bad thing...

But seriously, check out the aforementioned thread for a good overview of what you're looking for. Good luck!

Hay un mod en el apartado de downloads que te permite usar el Type XXI en 1939. Sigue las instrucciones para montarlo:

I don't understand the language above but it is deemed impolite to move away from English when the opening thread is written in the English language.

Anyhoo...the above link is what you require and for detailed information on Commander you will find a PDF document in the parent directory.
