Kiel Canal Question

Nihilus07 · 05-23-07, 10:05 AM

Hello mates. Im having trouble with the Kiel Out automatic course plotter. Everytime I use it, it plots the course in the opposite direction. Any thoughts?

When you are at Kiel use the "Out" course to leave. When you are coming into Kiel use the "In" course to arrive back to the docks.

Is that the trouble you are having...?

Also when using the 'out', you dont need to put any other waypoints first. Just press the button when the game loads up.

Anyone know a way to travel the canal at more than 4TC? I go the long way most of the time.

Use SH3 Commander. It lets you adjust time compression settings with just a click; as well as doing 100 other cool things.

If you use SH3 commander you can set proximity to land to 128TC

You can alter the main.cfg to get the same result IIRC

I've got GWX installed, will SH3 Commander work with it? If you how do I install it?

Cheers!

yes it will work
you simply download and install
then download the GWX 1.03 commander files from the GWX page

Just beware of delayed sailing through Kiel Canal.

Thank you for all your replies mates. When I press the Kiel Out button, it plots the course, but in the wrong direction. It plots it East, as if the Kiel Entrance point was South East. It looks like a mirror image of what its supposed to be. The Result: Kiel Out plot starts North West, Kiel Entrance ends South East.
