Other than that, I don't think it says anything else.

It may be WAD.

I haven't saved mid-patrol for a long time, so unfortunately can't comment.

I agree with you though - I don't think that SH3 Commander reads dates mid-patrol but I also don't see this as an issue. You wouldn't be sent new charts mid-patrol but would continue to receive radio messages, which seems to fit in with what you are trying to achieve and improves the realism of your mod.

By the way - WAD?

It does work, but my original intent was for the orders templates, the ones that have the orders listed by text on draggable pages in the game, to be updated mid patrol. The reason for this is that during certain times of the year, the JFO! radio messages pile up in a couple of days. Plus if you use the Radio Log Extended Mod as well, that updated message that you received back at the beginning of the patrol 20 days ago is going to be tough to find by paging all the way back through all of the messages that you received since then.

What I am going to do is set up my JSGME such that I can add in the necessary files based on the current date of the patrol myself. That way my orders will always be up to date. There is just a lot of info on there that I would really like to have in game, which was the original point.

We are working on a German version right now. When I release that I will update the readme to reflect the issues with SH3 Commander.

By the way - WAD?

WAD - Working As Designed

WAD - now I get it!

One potential way around the SH3 Commander problem is to have orders in the Date folder one month before they are to be implemented (I know of few people who have more than month-long patrols). You could then change the visible tab to say 'Kaleun Eyes only, not before 6 Jun 1941' or similar. That way they can 'open' their orders when they receive the radio message on the correct date.

Suboptimal, but workable...

Hello rudewarrior

I continue at work.

But a new question: this is a write error in the readme?
range of the G7e/TII to 3000 km - sure mean 3000 m (meters)

I have not found specification for Torpedo.sim
Which values should I?

Yes, that is correct, it should be 3000 m.

I'm sorry I am not sure I understand what you are asking me here. I don't know if you are using a translator, but I would suggest using Google translate. You could try and type it in the original German, I might be able to determine what you are saying.

If you are talking about editing the Torpedo.sim file, you need to use something like Silent 3ditor, and then edit property 19 which is for the TII. In the property tree under Speeds [1] it has an entry for [0], expand that and you can edit the range of the torpedo.

I hope this helps!

Yes, but what values?
2.999m; 2.998m; ... 1.000m; 999m ...
27kn; 26kn; ... 10kn; 9kn ...


of course googel
