Much needed program, Hilfe and my 1st GWX experiance.

[Freiwillige]

Okay so I got GWX running and it runs good for me even though my system specs are below what everybody recomends.
AMD Sempron 2.8Ghz
756 megs DDR Ram
GeForce 7300 GT 512 megs DDR2<-----Just got it yesterday!

Here is my tip. There is a free program Called end it all 2. I highly recomend it because it shuts down all the little unecassary lil programs running in the back ground freeing up memory! With that tool GWX loaded alot faster. about 3 minutes.

Here is where I need help. I keep getting radio report received messages but cant for the life of me figure out how to read them!

And now for my GWX reveiw

Okay so I load up GWX and start my career. I have harbor traffic set to light and it was still overwhelming how beautifull it all was. Saw some propoganda posters on the side of a building and zoomed in (Free veiw) and they were real German Kreigsmarine posters.......Bravo! Then headed out to sea, Couldnt dare time compress as the veiw all the way out of the harbour was phenominal just breathtaking. Passed a Tirpitz class battleship port side 100m out and you really get a sense of the size of this thing. Headed into the ocean and came across a freighter. Now it was storming like mad with 20 ft swells and fog I just couldnt identify the nationality of the target. All I could see was his lights. Positioned myself off his port side 500m out and thru my binoculars could finally make out a Danish flag. You just got lucky I said to myself. SO being the Cocky captain I am I decided to pull parralel to him and show him my exsistance (Just so he knows how lucky he was!)
Only I got too close and our hulls scraped together! Oh the commotion The noise was very loud and very beleivable. I almost fell out of my chair! The water in the north atlantic is No longer blue and clear with GWX no now its dark green and murky underwater.....although you can still see your boat quiet a distance its much more realistic.......AGAIN BRAVO! Hunting isnt easy but i patrolled my quadrant AM32 and found nothing but then I get report that a warship battle group is in the area two quadronts away so I plan my best guess intercept and go! 24 hours later "Ship spotted!" It was a destroyer and two small cruise ships. i was 2 miles off there starbord bow when I headed right at them. They were doing a solid 17 knots in this storm and I was doing all I could to close the gap. THe storm was covering my approach but the distance just would'nt close enough So I fired 4 torpedoes at the trailer at 4,600 meters. Minutes ticked by and Wham! One torpedo connected then all hell broke loose. Hide and seek fire two at destroyer and just miss hide and seek bringing bow around for another shot at destroyer, come to periscope depth and their gone. surface just to see them on the horizon high tailing it out of there.
Score 1 13,000 ton cruise ship for the cost of 6 torpedo's. Time to take the ol' VIIB home.

This reveiwers score 10/10 for GWX!

Good hunting! but ummm, cruise ship or cruiser? :hmm:

[Freiwillige]

It was a cruise ship....looked like a merchant but my book showed it as troop transport.

Hmmm are these radio messages important? or just historical ambiance? Im not at home to find out right now.

[Grayson02sept1980]

some radiomesseges give you info on convoys ... so yes they are important imho

Is that program for older windows? I checked readme and it didn't mention XP. You have XP?

[Grayson02sept1980]

I already installed it and it really just kills programs no matter what... so it works at least with my XP (I give no guarantee)

The only messages that actually give you information concerning the enemy's movements are the Radio Reports. All other messages are historical and are there only to give you a feel or reality in your game.
