Newbie Question SH3 with GWX3

Bruno Rizzo · 12-02-18, 05:46 PM

Hello,

First time newbie, have managed to get this combo working with steam and GWX3 download with the manual resolution change.

After first "patrol 24 hours in this sector" mission I returned to the port and it is August 3th, while war starts September 1st. Please advise as to how to kill this time as painless as possible.

I have no desire to install additional programs or mods such as commander add-on.

Thank you.

If you returned to base? I believe there is several days added before your next patrol.

In real life the first boats were sent to sea on August 19. You can go to Commander and change 'Days In Base' to match that number, or you can change it to 25 and start your next patrol just before the war begins. Once it's started you can go back to Commander and change 'Days In Base' to "Random".

Note: Back in 2004 they announced that SH3 was going to have a structured career somewhat like the one in SH2. The whole community raised a big stink about how great the free campaign in Aces Of The Deep was. They finally changed it to have that freedom of movement, but the '24 Hours' is a holdover from that. In real life you would have been ordered to go to a position and remain there for your entire patrol. After a week or so you could call in and request a shift to a new grid.

Hi Bruno
@Jeff wrote right :" there is several days added before your next patrol".
It is very probable that your next patrol will end after the start of the war.

If you decide to add SH3Commander you will also need to add the configuration files for GWX.
Both applications come with good instructions.
