Just reading through the thread got me thinking about a question that was brought up a while back regarding pre-plotted courses from bases such as Willy.

Obviously plotting the waypoints in ME is simple enough, but how would one go about associating the course with the player unit in the SCR layer?

You set the plot as a base then adjust to make it identical as a flotilla plot.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure I'm reading you on this. Are you saying multiple versions of the same plot, and if so, how do you assign as flotilla?

I like where this is going... I thought I read something about an autopilot for... WAC? or was it... aha! LSH3. I'll review.
Anyrate, never have problems outbound, just inbound.

flotilla plot?
scr?
*research*

edit: LSH3 has points on the map to place a waypoint to launch inbound/outbound transit patterns...

I use the Wilhelmshaven Schleuse mod, which adds locks and gates to the harbors. I have to do it manually. Also, for me that adds immensely to the experience. Plotting waypoints is easy, and sticking to the center of the canals are easy enough that I keep my "When Near Land" TC setting at 128x. I never crash.

Okay, gave this a little more thought and now I'm thinking you mean a naval base adjusted to the coordinates in the flotilla.cfg file. Am I getting warmer?

Yes, look at the screenshot below (LND layer).....Einlaufpunkt (point of entry/intake or thereabouts)

You'll notice it is a neutral naval base (for obvious reasons)...one at either end with embedded waypoints should do the trick IIRC, it was a long time ago.

Very good... Thanks Jim!
