A few semi-n00b questions

Tool · 12-04-06, 12:25 PM

Hello. Great forum you have here.. glad to be a part of it. While I'm not new to sims in the least (been flying Falcon since 1994), and driving a U-boat on and off since the Silent Service days, I have a few questions I can't seem to find answers too.

Is there a way to move an entire group of rested men from their bunks to a compartment and swap out the tired ones without individually clicking on each one and moving manually? I thought I had seen a solution to this someplace but I've tried everything and looked all over the forums/net with no luck. Maybe I'm searching the wrong places..

I'm looking on installing one of these great mods I've been reading about and as of now am planning to d/l the Grey Wolves Supermod and give it a try. I was told by a fellow pilot that also drives subs and he mentioned there was a mod to fix the Unable to man Deck gun in storm issue with anything above a hint of a breeze. Is something like this included in the GW mod?

Other than that.. I'm just glad to be along for the ride and happy to have just upgraded to a IXC in early '42 with 16 patrols and over 200.000 tons sent to the bottom.

Remember.. check six

Hi, and welcome!

PS: Try to fiddle around with the mouse buttons (double click or right/left-left/right click at stations) to move your men..

Double clicking a compartment with fatigued sailors in it (the ones with the red exclamation marks) will swap them out for sailors from the bunks.

Hope this helps, and hope you enjoy GW! You may want to wait for the new version of Grey Wolves, GWX, which is coming out in about a week and a half.

Thanks for the advice. I know i've tried double-clicking and other key combinations to move guys, but will try again. I'll wait on going with the new mod though.. one question.. will I be able to retain my career with a mod like that?

I do intend to load up SH3 in the mean time to address some other issues.

I right click on the name of the compartment. It will ask move to rest and click yes. Just have to make sure there is room in the rest quarters.

GWX will be out in a week or so. There have been some adjustments to the cannon and the weather.

You will have to have a separate campaign for greywolves, mainly because of the changes to the flotillas which can mess up the old campaign.
