Is the 30. Flottille included? I was looking forward to type IIs in the Black Sea, but I can't find the 30. anywhere, either in the game or in SH3 Commander 2.7.

Anyone else have any luck?

Had only one issue trying to load GWX.... I goofed and had added JSGME by mistake. Yeah I read the manual but still did it anyways like an idyit. If you do anything other than a fresh SHIII install and add Patch 1.4b, GWX will not install. Then you'll have to uninstall and start all over again. Trust me, I found out the hard way.

Yes, in October '42 I see the following:

1st
2nd
7th
10th
11th
29th
33rd

No 30th. If I click on the 33rd it says

10/42 to 07/44 - Error!
08/44 to 05/45 - Flensburg

Do you have the GWX specific files added to SH3Commander ?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R3824YLO

And SH3commander 2.6 or above ?

Yes. I installed those files, and I'm using Commander 2.7.

October 1942 has no 30th Flotilla. Obviously something is wrong. How do I go about tracking down the issue? Is there some file I can check for to see if I have it or to see if the code inside it is correct?

But even without SH3 Commander there's none. If I go into the game directly and try to make a new career I don't see the 30th.

Then it sounds like your install is corrupt
Did you do the MD5 check on all the files before install ?
Remove the SH3 folder in my docs before install ?

It should say 30th/33rd Flotilla

You can look in

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg and open the Flotilla cfg
And look for

Flotilla7=909
TO7=945
NbStartingDate7=4
NbDate7=4
Emblem7=data/Emblems/SubEmblems/Flotillas/33rd flotilla.tga
NbBases7=2
Base7_0=760;Constanza
Date7_0_0=1942
Month7_0_0=10
Date7_0_1=1944
Month7_0_1=7
DeparturePointLong7_0=3436713.000000
DeparturePointLat7_0=5297685.000000
Heading7_0=92.734001
Base7_1=759;flensburg
Date7_1_0=1944
Month7_1_0=8
Date7_1_1=1945
Month7_1_1=5
DeparturePointLong7_1=1133818.000000
DeparturePointLat7_1=6577824.000000
Heading7_1=314.727997
NbUboats7=3
Uboat7_0=0
Uboat7_1=1
Uboat7_2=2

You sure your SH3Cmdr is pointing to your GWX installation? If SH3Cmdr lists anything OTHER THAN:

1st Flotilla
2nd Flotilla
7th/13th Flotilla <note the difference!>
10th Flotilla
11th Flotilla
23rd/29th Flotilla <note the difference!>
12th Flotilla
30th/33rd Flotilla <note the difference!>

for the Flotillas AND you have GWX installed, then SH3Cmdr has not been correctly set up to point to your GWX installation. Make sure you use the /l switch appropriately.

What a fantastic mod - thanks folks!

A funny thing happened to me in El- Ferrol. I had fled to the nearest neutral port to patch up my boat after a disastrous passage through the channel....

I stopped a few hundred yards off the wharf in El-Ferrol and ended the mission.

My only option to end patrol was to return to base - which I clicked on....

and then suddenly I ended in Willhelmshaven! LOL

Probably user error on my part but the Spanish were very helpful! :rotfl:

A bit off topic, but does the GWX Auto-Installer check the game exe files?
