************************
Knots Speed Mod.v2
**********************
In a WWII German U-boat, orders for speed changes (e.g., "Ahead Slow," "Ahead Full," or "Flank Speed") were given by the U-boat commander (Kapitänleutnant) or the watch officer and then relayed to the engine room by the helmsman or bridge crew. The chief engineer (Leitender Ingenieur, LI) was responsible for executing these orders and ensuring the propulsion system was adjusted accordingly.

Order Process for Speed Changes:
********************************
Kapitänleutnant Issues the Order:
"Langsame Fahrt voraus!" (Ahead Slow!), "Halbe Fahrt voraus!" (Half Ahead!), "Volle Fahrt voraus!" (Full Ahead!), "Äußerste Fahrt voraus!" (Flank Speed!) etc.

Order Relayed to the Engine Room:
*********************************
The helmsman or a control room crewman repeats the order and moves the engine telegraph (Maschinentelegraf) to the corresponding setting.
A bell or signal in the engine room alerts the engine crew to the speed change.
The engine crew confirms the execution by responding over the voice tube (Sprachrohr) or intercom.

Credits.
**********
This mod is based on TikiGods "Engine Telegraph Commands mod" and some of the Sounds used in GWX 3.0.
I asked both of them (2009) their permission to use these sounds.

On a side note, it would be really nice if you could join the Onealex mod discord as im advertising your sound mods for the community there. Easy to ask and answer questions pertaining to it as well.

Can you resend that, I seem to not have gotten it for some reason

Tried out your mod and works as advertized.

One thing I can suggest though, is to have a slightly longer pause between the command and response. Some, I feel, are to quick and almost on top of each other. Otherwise a nice addition.
