Go into your SH3 Commander/Cfg Folder. Use Notepad to open up the U-boat availability file. Look at the Submarine 2 section and change the start date here:

[SUBMARINE2]
903_NbVersion=4; 5
903_Version0=0 ; IXB
903_Name0=IXB
903_Month0=8
903_Year0=1939
903_Version1=1 ; IXC
903_Name1=IXC
903_Month1=1
903_Year1=1941
903_Version2=2 ; IXC/40
903_Name2=IXC/40
903_Month2=7
903_Year2=1942
903_Version3=3 ; IXD2
903_Name3=IXD2
903_Month3=6
903_Year3=1945
903_DaysSpentInBase=75

That's it. The IXB will now be available at Wilhelmshave in August 1939 as it was historically.

Uboatman · 01-12-13, 03:48 PM

cool, thank you. I've been looking and I can't find an appropriate U number for that date, any chance you'd have one? My list of books on the subject is very limited

Jim's just teasing me.

To know if you're cheating, ask yourself two questions:

1. Does the "cheat" give you an unfair advantage.

2. Is the "cheat" historically accurate.

Sometimes the "cheat" can also counteract a cheat on the part of the game.

A "cheat" I regularly use is SH3 Commander's ability to assign qualifications to all petty officers right of the bat. It seems like cheating, but in fact there is no such thing as an 'unqualified' petty officer. It's what makes the POs in the first place.

Of course there is also a third question you can ask yourself:

3. Do I care?

Jim and Fubar,

Not sure what's up with that, but thank you both regardless.

I guess there is no version of the expansion that will work for the digital download from Gamefly the digital download is v 1.4 but when I try to install the gsw expansion it reports that it is modded and it is not its a clean install hasnt even been played yet was going to start playing again and was hoping to use this expansion.I wonder if I can do it the hard way from verrsion 2 to verson 3 if they are even still available?

Uboatman · 01-19-13, 12:28 PM

Is it possible to have 2 GWX installs? I've run into some issues (may need help with those, but later) and I would like to just copy the working GWX folder and use the copy for the modifications I'm doing.

Jimbuna · 01-19-13, 12:54 PM

Go to the downloads section and use MultiSH3

Hey folks, hopefully there is a quick and easy answer for this that I am too dumb to search the right terms and find.

I wanted to start a career out of Norway in 42 with the 11th (supposedly) becomes available and couldn't get it to work, the results are highly varied with me winding up starting off the coast of Africa, near nothing at all, a couple of times and usually at Kiel with different tweaks to the dates.

In SH3 commander, the flotilla information shows an error between 41 and 44 when you check it, but the early and late war seem appropriate.

I blew everything up last night, uninstalled SH3 including a delete of the directory, reinstalled SH3 and SH3 commander so my current mod list is down to really just base. I figured that would take care of any problems and I'd re-enable mods until I figured out where I was going wrong, but with no resolution.

SH3 + GWX + H.sie's patch (and his JSGME bit). SH3 Commander with the GWX config files.

Is there possibly a config file I missed deleting?
