You’ll need him and nav in port to get started and set Kiel outbound if needed, call it “maneuver stations”. But yeah otherwise those guys don’t need to always be in control room.

Ok thanks. Hey, you've probably already done it but I edited the NYGM 1024 menu.ini to again show all the crew slots in the compartments. Makes adding them easier.

Let me know if you want a copy.

Here you go. Been trying this out for a bit this a.m. Very nice ! I moved a few of the crew around to different quarters to reduce the drag distance when doing watch changes.
I.e., all the engine crews are in the aft quarters, all the watch crews in the forward, etc.


Liking the concept though !

Thanks! Glad to hear it’s going well. Yeah good point, probably easier to do it that way in the long run, I was simulating the sailors in the bow room, with the petty officers in the U-Raum.

That's true too; they didn't bunk together, i.e. Also, I couldn't assign both the radio and medic quals to the two crew involved; both quals take the same "space" in the crew members qual box in SH3C.
No big deal as I kept the radio qual but how did you get that to work ? Edit the crew.cfg files ?

The petty officers should be able to accept 2 qualifications, but I think they might need one patrol under their belt already.

Thanks, I was able to give them radio quals but when trying to also give them the medic, that qual would replace the radio one.
But no big deal.
