In fact this feature was planned but just partly implemented in SH3.
Maybe h.sie or Stiebler could do something about that.

But you can edit your KaptainsLog:


In the lower right corner you see the button for the edit-box highlighted. If clicked it looks like this:


But this is the point-of-no-return! You can leave it just by killing the sh3.exe in taskmanager - Cancel, OK, ESC do not work!

So you can edit your KaptainsLog with some restrictions:
Start your patrol and save it. Now you find a file named "savename.clg" in your own career folder.
If you open it with an Texteditor like notepad you can find this:


I entered [Log Entry 1] by hand (NOTE: `C0xA10000FF` and `C0x0` are responsible for the red colour).


But you will see your new entries after you reload this saved game.
The question will be if it is worth all this work.

Could you please share the menu_1024_768.ini that allowed this log editing? That way we can get more minds on it to perhaps fix the issues. Thanks.
