thanks for all the kind welcomes!

im a bit noobish at this game so please be prepared for lots of questions!

i would to point out that i am absolutely overwhelmed by the sheer size of the GWX mod. hats off to you guys for providing such excellent software for the community. admittedly ive not read the manual yet. i only just installed everything, so i got excited and couldnt resist a quick game first (as you do).

ive got some questions. if any of these are stupid pls forgive me - im a humble pot washer! some of these questions have arisen out of my first tentative mission in a 1939 old stylee uboat.

1. when i sailed from germany to my patrol area half my fuel was gone on arrival. is there any good fuel economy tips? am i supposed to stop at ports en route to top up fuel? do i go at slower speed? underwater? is there milk cows and how do i use them? basically i need fuel tips because i like ran out.

2. en route i got some messages like "survivors need picking up" together with some long/lat coordinates. how do i work out where the area is from my map using the coordinates?

3. i noticed when i kept submerging to use hyrdophone (bad weather) then resurfacing always 1 crewmember stayed behind in electric/diesel compartment causing me to get message not enough crew members. so every time i had to manually drag and drop him. can i avoid this somehow?

4. i installed GWX 1.03 SH Command1.7 and Sobers wave mod. this best setup?

5. im going 100% realism! i got my wazoos manual printed off and my circular wheel targetting tool cut out! woohoo!

6. my 1939 uboat goes real slow. i just chased a cargo ship for like 2 hours in bad weather using the hydrophone! any tips? or is this just the deal when uve got an older style boat. if so i think ill give up chasing unless theyre closer?

sorry for all teh questions. just need to get over some initial hurdles then i can sit back and start some captains logs for you to read!

thanks!
