They also have the sound track of Stairway to Heaven in there. Play it backwards and it will turn out your belly button backwards at 33 RPM speed if you have an 8-track player.

Your NAVAL belly button will enjoy that.

hmmm, first stereo I owned had an 8-track player. That was High tech back then. Tons better than my dads old real to real.

I have, less than 5 feet away, a combined R2R, 8-track and cassette player. I still quite often throw on an 8-track (ahh that mid-song track click) or a reel.

I still miss that 8-Track player, and all those irreplacable 8-tracks. Thank God for P to P and MP3's

Talk about thread derailment! Why hasn't GWX2.1 addressed this? I thought it was meant to keep all subsim threads on track talking about GWX vs SH3 bugs.

Speaking about realism and details
In my 5th patrol in GWX 2.1, I've received a message from u-35, mentioning that is sinkign and they're abandoning it. (It was somewhere between 28-29th of november if I remember well)

As much as the radio messages are there to add to the immersion......a lot of them are also strikingly accurate

That is one of the actual real messages, included for just that reason. Pretty cool...until you get that message while running U-35.:rotfl:

You might want to also thank IrishRed. That message was part of his original RadioLog mod more than two years ago.
