Great tutorial but i have problems loading the missions included.
I use GWX 3.0, and I did the following includid in the read me file:

Copy the training missions to SH3/data/single missions/english (german/french)

Copy the Sound folder to SH3/data/sound in order to replace the GWX propeller sounds by the stock game sounds.

SH3/data/cfg/contacts.cfg should be replaced by contacts.cfg attached to this tutorial, as the distance reporting used in GWX is not
applicable for methods demonstrated in this guide.

Copy SH3.sdl to the SH3/data/sound


I load the mission for the propellers it loads until like 95% and then crashes to desktop...

If I remember correctly this mission, or the tables in the PDF were made for a very old version of GWX. 1.02 I think. Since then too much has changed in the ship database, regarding unit IDs and sound modifications that it does no longer work. So far I haven't seen anybody who managed to port this mod up to GWX 2 or 3. It's simply broken for GWX 3

Yes unfortunately.
If I had more time I would make a new table but work and family take up all the time.

I don't think I'll be using this technique anytime soon, it's not really needed. I will use the 'make a mark, wait, make another mark' technique to get a rough speed while submerged to save getting my scope spotted. If it's thick fog, I don't usually attack as I can't usually identify the ship as friend or foe. Even if I just assume and shoot at as close as I can guess, I'm likely throwing away a torpedo that I will really want later on. If I can see stuff, I have proper ranges, bearings and therefore speed. I'm not that desperate that I shoot at anything.

I might try this for fun. I'm playing with WO help at this point, so he gives me the speed anyway.
