Copy from stock or 1.03 and add to your 2 install

I also seem to remember hearing that it wasn't supported by GWX, as it is technically a mod. If that is the case, you can understand my reluctance to do that I hope. If not, it seems like a little much to go through over something that to me seems like it would be an option in the stock game anyway.

Rgr that.

It's not officially supported because it is against the idea & vision the we built GWX 2.0 to.

That said, as it's only a graphic file, there is nothing that will be broken or be incompatible with GWX 2.0. So use it if you wish.

However, we (the GWX Team) will not give the installation an optional mod to place these back in. It goes against the realism we are trying to bring to the game.

Hello all,

I've got a small request to the GWX Dev tem.
Would it be possible in GWX 2.1 to have a optional mod (JSGME) of having the DF Antenas lowered like the GWX 1.02 and 1.03 have?

Thank you,
And Happy New Year to all

I was picturing sorting them into two classes: merchant and civilian, with vessels like sloops, junks, trawlers, tugboats, etc. being placed in the civilian section.

Just an ideer.

And I want to second what others have already said: GWX 2 hasn't been out a month and already you guys are actively fixing small little bugs and looking to improve an already awesome mod. If I had a way to do it I'd send you all real, replica medals. You all deserve some sort of reward for all your hard work and dedication.

Merchant ships are civilian.

::sighs::

I know merchant ships are also civilian. My intention was differentiating, somehow, between vessels carrying cargo (freight, petroleum, ammunition, personnel, etc.) versus pleasure craft (sloops, etc.) and 'working' ships (tugboats, trawlers, fishing boats, etc.). If you're running 100%/manual targeting, it's not exactly like you're going to run across many sloops, junks or fishing boats out in the mid-Atlantic, and --for me, at least-- popping open the merchie section of the RM and wading through a ton o' things to reach your particular ship is slow. And to manual target you have to visually identify then RM-select in order to properly calculate ranges.

'Civilian' might not be the best term to have used; I was simply proposing a concept.

Hi!

I'm not sure if it's possible to add more sections to each book, but if it is, are you really talking about sorting them by size? For example, everything at or above a specified tonnage number (like, say, 1,000 tons) and everything below that tonnage value (say, below 1,000 tons)?

Definitely looking forward to that.
Experienced myself a serious destabilization a couple of days ago, but didn't relate it to GWX until now... :hmm:

Happy New Year!

I'd like to see a REAL rec manual from that period.
Considering that nearly anything that stood a fighting chance
of crossing the Atlantic, at least, one way once, was
thrown into service?
How up-to-date were the rec manuals?
I did some combat in a few places,
and the rec mans I had didn't show half the crap that came at me armed!!!

Paajtor · 01-02-08, 06:22 PM

A recog-manual is outdated as soon as you leave harbor, right?

01-02-08, 06:25 PM

All I can say for fact is,
My rec man DID NOT show a VW Beetle that looked like Herby
armed with Mounted RPGs and 4 crazy cubans!!!

There was a mod out a while ago to lower the DF Antena in GWX 1.02 or 1.03, will it work in GWX 2.0?

wetgoat · 01-02-08, 08:33 PM

It works for me , and didn't mess up anything as far as I know.

Sure it works... but you've broken a number of other things that have been adjusted for GWX 2.0.

If you want people to appreciate your stylized tough-guy posturing, a submarine simulation forum probably isn't the best place to do it, paddy merchant :rotfl:

Webchessie · 01-02-08, 08:53 PM

Wow, I don't check the message boards for a couple of days and what do I find. . . a planned improvement on a already great GWX 2.0!!!

And all this costs me . . . NOTHING!! (except a small donation to my favorite subsim.com because I want to)

THANKS GWX TEAM FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!
