Just to make sure there isn't a problem, are you seeing friendly ships in harbour and sailing about when you set out for your patrol?

Good question!

New users may enable the Med and Indian Ocean Campaign files without knowing that they will remove all scripting in the Atlantic.

What MODS do you have enabled OP?

If you are playing the Atlantic portion, sail to AM 52 or BF 17 during the start of the war. Always something coming in in these areas for me.

There are periods in this simulation that enemy ships are rather hard to come by. Sometimes you can spend a whole patrol at sea and only see the ships in the harbor when your leaving and coming home. Having said that, I usually head for the nearest port if Im not finding any enemy ships. Ive always found that the ships in port respond to my presence and head back out to sea. Also I don't think that you would be attacked by aircraft if there was something wrong. It seems more than likely a matter of not being in the right place at the right time.
As Jim would say "Be more aggressive!!!".

1) Activate the combined campaign mod in JSGME
2) Download and activate from the Subsim download section, Jimbuna's Spy Sat mod: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...do=file&id=157 and use this to get accustomed to the game.
