Hi all, have a quandry about SHIV, I am currently in a career in june 42 and at 1/4 tank of fuel remaining, near as I can figure Im too far from midawy to make it back, so I set course for Brisbane, Problem is that when I near the coast there, I get a CTD !!! Everytime I try to go there CTD , Any one else had this issue ?

Haven't had that problem.
I don't suppose you could make it to Darwin?
It's a bit out of your way, but you might not get a CTD.

Can't help you with the CTD, but- I can help you with the fuel issue:

Documents\SH4\data\cfg\GameplaySettings.cfg

Documents\SH4\data\cfg\UPCInitial\GameplaySettings .cfg

Not sure which iof these files is the one that you want- maybe you need to change both, I don't remember. BUT...

Change LimitedFuel to false and reload the saved game.

And NEVER EVER, EVER allow yourself to run THAT low on fuel again. Next exit 3,000 nm.

For SHAME!

Late advice but you should make your own fuel estimate when starting out on first patrol or first with a new type of sub. Don't count on the game to tell you that your screwed.

To do the log, sum your waypoint distances travelled. At the 1/4 and 1/2 fuel times you can add up these distances to get a good idea of how far you can go on that much fuel. Of course speed, weather, and time submerged will vary the results.

Check too with your ruler, starting at half fuel remaining, to measure the trip home or to a port where fuel is available. Measure daily, and you will know when it is time to turn back.

You can also conserve fuel by running submerged, a boring long-distance trip.

This isn't true, is it ? Beause you have only very limited reach when submerged and recharging the batteries takes more fuel than just running on diesels. This is because one enging has to run on maximum RPM for recharching and only the other one is available for travelling.

You're correct. Best bet is to stay surfaced and run at about 10 knots.
