On a side note I just finished my first patrol. It was long (> month), and unlucky .April 1942: there were convoys around my AL26 grid but always too far. I have found convoy after 3 weeks, and managed to sink one large merchant. on my return trip i encountered escort carrier with one destroyer (first time ever!), but had only one torpedo and 10% of fuel, darn.Oh, and it was 3 weeks almost constant storm (> 10m/s winds).
After first patrol I can repeat: thanks for sharing your work.

Hey Blaz...
It seems to me that Fifi answered you on this subject with Hitman Optic..
Now Fifi already has a lot to do with this NYGM redesign...especially right now...
So please just point out the errors on the existing work.
stop making useless requests this is a hardcore mod...
on "Youtube" you will find tutorials of all the attack method...
On this forum too... make the effort to read and search before asking useless questions... thank you it's not a self service...!!! know that Fifi is not here at the disposal of people in order to make modes on demand you should try to make mods for this game.. then you will better understand the amount of work to be done before getting to that point.. .
I wish you good luck in your search, I'm sure you'll be fine...

The first career in a new installment of NYGM Enhanced, that would be with the new version of NYGM Enhanced, released after the Blk Sea CDT issue was fixed. I started at the pier and not too long into the game I was cycling through the ships and my boat for some screen shots, when my camera malfunctioned. Just like what has been described here in several post above. The same exact issue. Now, I was not only messing with the cycling of the ships with the < and > keys, I was also messing with the F12 key too. That's when I ran into the camera issue. I figured I messed something up. I couldn't find my boat and since this career didn't count (my tester career). I exited the game and completely deleted that career from my "Save Game folder" in Documents. Ran CCleaner and restarted my PC. At that point, I set up a new career and ran my first patrol from port (no modding of my boat yet). I cycled (< and >) through the ships in the port of Constanza and my boat many times and at a fast pace too, just to duplicate the issue and actually try to break it again. The "cam" issue hasn't returned, with either that career or with other test careers I started. This morning I decided to kill those test careers off and start a serious career. So far so good. I have cycled on ships in port and on a friendly convoy a few hours out and, all is good. I did see what you guys saw but only once. Hope this helps ... Jerry
Oh yeah, my startdate was around October 1942. Can't remember the exact day.

Thx Jerry for the information... I'll try again tonight

Question:

Do you guys bother longer loading times, or I leave it like that ?
(By longer times, I mean around 6-7 minutes)
Knowing I will not be able to satisfy everyone …

Dear Kal, thank you for your useless post.

In my answer I just pointed NYGM have Hitman optics. That was statement, not request.


I`ve also stated that I have problem finding(that is: read and search) documentation on the optics used.And that was a request to whoever knows the answer.

Ok, as soon as you refrain yourself from posting useless answers wich brings nothing to the table (except the bugtracking info).


I sincerely hope that was just a langauge barrier as this one of the most civil forums on the whole internet.

[CapZap1970]

To tell you the truth, it doesn't bother me at all... I guess we got used to it since all Mega mods take about the same time to load and it works perfectly, Some more, and others less....


Of course, that's my personal point of view....

Hello,

The GUI in Fifi's mod has some elements from Hitman's GUI, the documentation that comes with it will have some of the information you want. The graticules have a vertical scale in miliradians (each division equals 10/16 of a degree) and a horizontal scale in degrees. The mod comes with two authentic charts from a German manual that will help you estimate distance. With regard to the U-Jagd chronometer, it can be used to measure speed using standard procedure but it will save you some math, you can read the speed on the colored line that better corresponds to the ship's length.
Regards,
Diego

Load times... a bit long, are fine... gives me time to roll a cig, grab a cup o' joe aka coffee (or other drink, for that matter)...


So, I'm all good on the load time, as it stands.

Loading times are acceptable. Worth the wait.

Much better than WAC, that runs 10 to 12 minutes load up on my machine.

No problem here

[Fifi]

Ok guys, so… I’ll keep going with longer times
I have added many random coastal life everywhere (where there was nothing to see before) and deleted all left over Mediterranean & BS units in standalone mod.
It was useless to keep them as we have Mediterranean & BS campaign files only
Now to run tests & more tests…

Edit: encountered a problem … have to start over again on last good base

[Fifi]

Problem gone

About loading time, adding 8 new ships gives prohibited loadings… but adding many new random traffic gives zero loading malus !! Quite incredible … I always thought adding new traffic would increase loading times :doh but no, exact same loading time!

Thanks for the reply. I did not see the post this was explained in but after trying to read it was not clear as to what to do.

In your reply to me you stated..."do not touch the original composition of the crew, add the sailors..the non-commissioned officers...Got it.

What does this mean, "is a machinist to complete the missing personnel?


"Do not touch anything else, neither torpedoes nor coats of arms...Got it.
"Now if one of the members doesn't have a photo, that's normal too...Got it.
"When you have passed this step...during the real patrol you can modify what you want...what does this mean?


Am I doing the above then saving in the pen and then modifying the crew add-ons or dismissals in a new mission with the same uboat?

Wait for second patrol to change anything, that’s better
