Kiel Kanal time compression issues. GWX 2.1

It is taking me a long time in real time to get thru the Kiel Kanal. Time compression rarely wants to go over 4. Can I force it? I don't think I am going to run into the HMS Nelson in there. It is sept 1939 and I am in my type II. Anyone have this problem. It's been an ordeal just to get thru the canal.

If you use SH3commander you can change the proximity to land settings
I use mine at 128 TC
Breeze through



If you dont use SH3commander
Why not ????

You can change the settings in the main cfg

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=128 <-----Here

And also the one in

C:\Documents and Settings\****\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg

I've set mine to 512. The Kiel Canal is now a breeze.

@BBW, still using R3.1RC1 I see.

Yes

Additionally goto (C:\programs)\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg\Com mands_en.cfg and open with Notepad/Editor.

Scroll to [Cmd5] and add

Key1=0x6A,R,"Npad *"


It shall look like this:

[Cmd5]
Name=Time_compr_increase
Ctxt=1,2,6,9
MnID=0x3F010001
Key0=0x6B,,"Npad +"
Key1=0x6A,R,"Npad *"

Save your changes!

This enables Npad * key to max TC with a single hit!
Nice to race the Kiel Channel.

Thanks everyone. That fixed it. I didn't know proximity to land was an issue. I'm never close to land.

Ha, just be wary when you're following a navigation plot. Make sure you're not plotted through an island. The tc will not drop, and you'll beach her.
