How about an updated game map?

[Lane]

Hi I just downloaded your new map I am out on patrol 3 with a save
near Kristiansand I am running the new sh3 commander to load the
Sim. Question do you think it would be all right to load the map with
JSGME before starting the save
Thank's for any info.

Hmmm........


Do you have the Historical correct Konvoyroutes anywhere on picture or something?

Don`t know which could be 100% Realistic!

I think that the Convoyroutes on the SHIII Map (coming with game)
aren`t 100% historically correct!

They are really good and maybe 95% correct i think.

U cannot make the perfectly correct convoyroutes, because the Konvoys didn`t go every time the exact same way in the war!

The convoyroutes on the map are really good to copy.

Because u have also to search maybe 150 KM around the shown lines at the map for a convoy. The routes are just a help (maybe the convoy would be somewhere around the line, shown on the map) to find the right place in a circle of maybe 150 KM around them......


It isn`t possible to make a 100% correct Routemap!
The convoys didn`t run exactly the way they had to go, because of Zickzack and escaping.... They just had some waypoints i think.


but all in one, the Routes painted on the Map are really good to overtake into the Mod i make. Only a few small corrections i will make.

Using Sheppards great work to make my map! It is a really good help for me!


If somebody has historical Convouyroutes, so please send me or upload them anywhere!

I have only found this ones....but the map comed with the game is much more better.....

:hmm: Installed I though? your new map with JSGME
Data\Terrain\Maps\Map 1\ file 4320_2160.raw Used SH3 Commander
2.2 to Load my save but map look's the same :hmm:
What did I do wrong? I checked SH3 Commander to see if it loaded
a different map but don't think so? I am running Rubini's HT146 if any of
that would have some effect but don't think so :hmm:
Thank's for any help or info.

@ Rubini


first steps done in Convouyroutes.....


What do you think? It is very hard to get the right lines painted inside....but i do my best. Have tested a lot to get this size of the Lines....

It`s damn hard to paint those lines with free hand!

I think it is a good compromiss!?

I would like to note each line with only the Letters OGF, XQ UGF and so on and....

What do YOU think? Screen:

That looks really good. I may be tempted to include the convoy routes in RUb if the rest of the lines look that good.

[Rubini]

FLB,

As usual, great work!

When I ask you about the map with convoys route I was thinking about Shepard's map (that one what is already done). Then, in this case you "only" need to add the geographic names.
But if you have the necessary time and patience to do a new one with more info and corrected in some way it is obviously ideal.
So what map to use is up to you, ok?

By the way, I have some difficult to read that ghotic letters in the map that you use for write the big geographic names. Perhaps because my native language is not english (you know that)...I guess that if you use a less "ghotic" font is better. But this is just my opnion. Let's see if others here have the same opinion/difficulty.
And I notice in the map that Kape Frio (In Brasil, near Rio de Janeiro city) have a identical entry near the Afrika coast. Is this a mistake? :hmm:

Rubini.

Nice work Sale.

I also 2nd an English Version.

The original map by Sheppard with its convoy routes is a direct copy of the chart issued with the game. For me its fine and I tend to find most shipping with in the bounds of the routes marked. However IF you do indeed "tidy it up" so as its a better represention, outstanding !

Carry on.

Include me in for a English and convoy map I have trouble reading
the German names I got my map working thank's HW3 Wish the
white lettering was more clear. But thank's for a updated map.
