When I am in SH3 and I view past patrol logs, I don't get any of those details for some reason. I thought that maybe there was a category or two missing and that I had to activate them, but I can't figure it out. All I get is the ship type and tonnage, location, time it sank. No name, crew figures. Any tips on how to make the other info appear?

Oh, and "Laphroaig!"

That information is only added by SH3 Commander, when the "Use Real Ship Names" option is checked. Default gets you everything, ship names can be used without the cargo and casualty information by a bit of editing of the SH3C file Cfg\Ship_names.cfg. FMI, check the readme for SH3 Log http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4107.

I definitely have "Use Real Ship Names" checked, that's why I can't figure out why it's not doing it.

Here's a thought: Which version of Commander are you using?

The last version, 3.2, is available here.

Also, the Commander User Guide says this: "Ship names will be added whenever you generate a Personnel File."
