Nice work guys.. I didn't get to read the entire manual yet, but i did read the changes.

I didn't see anything about the hatch thing, and i did load the mod in JSGME, but haven't figured out how it works yet..

The open hatch mod is only included for the Type VIIC, it is probable that there will be a Type IX mod at some time in the future.

This would probably be possible for someone with hex editing skills. Diving Duck did something like this for the bridge position using TT's mini-tweaker.

However,a quick and easy solution would be to use "Shift+F2". If you press this combo you can move wherever you want by using mouse for direction and arrow keys for movement.

Each time you use this combination thereafter you will return to the same position - provided you haven't used it to go elsewhere.

Ahh.. that explains it then, heheheh. I'm using a IXB, so it is no wonder I didn't notice it.

Thought I`d pop in and congratulate you guys on making the best mod I`ve seen for any game. Stunning, boys.

It seems to be working for my VIIB, as well. Its the U-45, still going months after October 14, 1939, thank you very much.

Sounds like RTFM time again.

From page 66 of the manual:

This option leaves that hatch open in all Type VII (VIIB, VIIC, VIIC/41, and VIIC/42) U-boats, so that you can see through the open watertight door into the next compartment.

Since it was Jim, I assume he meant Type VIIs as opposed to Type IXs, not just the VIIC.

Thank you GWX Team for time you spent on this great mod.
Installed the 2.1 update and everything works without any problems.

I read someone elses post asking the same question and if I remember correctly this was not implemented as it seemed to cause a couple of problems. Having said that I've installed it on the off chance and all seems OK so far, so you can always take the gamble...:hmm:
