If you can help Al with his problem then by all means do. If you cannot it is my considered opinion that you should put your hands by your sides and step away from the keyboard.

Unfortunately Al, I don't own the Seawolves disk so I can't advise you, but hopefully someone in this very helpful, community will pop up .

Anyone know of any other problems?

This addon is known for alot of bugs, mate, im sorry i cant help you solve the problem.. GWX is an excellent alternative, mate!

And I certainly wasn't singling you, or anyone, out.

I wish I could have got to the thread as the second post but I was too late.

I just don't want another thread about Seawolves that turns into the same old same old.

Thanks

Al, Things evolve and SW-Med, while doing some new things at the time, has been greatly surpassed by the latest GWX. This is typical in flight and naval sims evolving forward all the time making a recent add on obsolete and then something outdoing that.
Progress it is and that is good for us all.
However, while I suggest you download and install GWX before you uninstall SW-Med make a copy to an outside folder of the entire data folder.
Why?
Because there are many fine models available in SW-Med you can not get anywhere else and since many ships are randomly generated by type these will show up in the GWX just fine.
Once you have that copy safe to copy from of SW-Med data, you can place them in the new install of GWX.
The most worthwhile ships are
3 Frigates (sloops) Grimsby, Egret and Bittern
Hunt DE (DE types not well represented so this adds variety to type 3 selection)
Many new British, Italian, Russian and Spanish DDs
2 Italian light cruisers
One American Heavy cruiser
New British light cruisers particularly the important Arethusa class
New armed trawler.
Extra various merchant classes
Once you get and install GWX you can ask here about how to add the SW-Med ships or PM me and I will walk you through it. It is not hard with very little help needed.
Many here have a dislike for SW-Med but since I beta tested it and advised the devs I feel I can say GWX is the best thing to date for SH3 so why not get it???
However, GWX with all those extra SW-Med ships is even better so you haven’t lost in having them. I feel my GWX is much better with those SW-Med additions included.

I believe the q was about Sea wolves
Not U-Boat Battle in the Mediterranean

Yes uboat has the extra ships but doesnt answer the posted problem

TBH its been so long since I had Seawolves installed I cant remember if had that problem
I didnt use it for long as discovered here and GW1.1

Funny actually yesteday I reinstalled UBITM
Was sent a link that had some ships for D\L :hmm:
and just wanted to check if they were from the med addon

Hey AL,
I agree witht the others that GWX is by far and away the best add-on to SH3, and it's free!!! Everything about it has been painstakingly created by a community that was in it for the gaming experience and not just to generate a few more $$$... Included with it is a program called "JSGME" that will allow you to keep adding mods such as new ships, sounds, effects, visuals...etc.

I must warn you however, that once you start down this road you will find yourself being assimilated by the Subsim Community: it's like The Borg - You will become part of the "Collective" and spend all of your time either resting or interacting in some shape or form with SH3.

Hope this helps,
High Voltage

If I understand you correctly, there is this news bulleting as part of the loading screen, and it doesn't update as the war goes along. Am I right?

If so, you can try downloading the SH3 Commander launcher and have it take care of the news. It sports, among other great things, war news that update monthly.

Welcome aboard Al
I'll make no comments re:SW
My advice would be to get GWX

[jpm1]

Sounds about right. Thing is, it works for a while, then just randomly stops working. Thing is, when it stops working in one campaign, it stops in ALL campaigns. Even if I start another one in 1939, the news will be stuck where it froze, which could even be 1940, 41, 42, 43, 44 or 45!

Still, some other problems, on the close up map view, SOME port details are gone. You can't tell from the max zoom where you are, so you have to navigate out of the port visually, either from the bridge, the UZO, one of the scopes, or the external camera. You can't start plotting your course until you clear the harbor, since you might run your course across a breakwater, or some other obstacle that no longer shows on the map.
