[edit] I just went into SH3 Commander's Cfg/U-boat availability folder and changed

[SUBMARINE2]
903_NbVersion=4; 5
903_Version0=0 ; IXB
903_Name0=IXB
903_Month0=8
903_Year0=1939
903_Version1=1 ; IXC
903_Name1=IXC
903_Month1=1
903_Year1=1941
903_Version2=2 ; IXC/40
903_Name2=IXC/40
903_Month2=7
903_Year2=1942
903_Version3=3 ; IXD2
903_Name3=IXD2
903_Month3=6
903_Year3=1945
903_DaysSpentInBase=75

The IXB now shows up in the Flotilla Saltzwedel list for August! I don't know if I can actually get it, because I haven't tested it yet and I haven't changed it in GWX. Test coming up.

Thanks for all the help....

Well whaddaya know?! I changed the start date in Commander, but not in the main game, and loaded it up. I was expecting a crash and having to go back and change the date in the game as well, but instead I found this:

Note the date in the first shot.
