activate this mod with jsgme

it is important to begin plotting at the exact position,
so have a look at the pictures in documentation folder of the mod or below.

Tested in and out with a type IX B at periscope depth, it works ! :-)

Oddly enough if I do CTD trying to load a saved game, I can get it to load on the second (or third), attempt. The load times are a pain, but no worse that GWX Gold, and, unlike GWX Gold, I can actually load saved games.

Great, without full interiros it might be more stable.

The external camera is "iffy": it often acts buggy. Sometimes it's not centered on the ship/plane, and you wind up somewhere up in the sky or under the water.

Only around harbours?

I have to test this!

That can only be a hospital ship, I think because the british roste does not have enlighted ships.

Not in all subs, I think. Which type?

Could be the new zones.cfg file

It was intentional to get good waves.

I did never test. Does it need special requirements?

There might be that option, althogh I am no GUI expert and this GUI was mae years ago.

Actually no, but I have to check!

There is, but not from myself:


* I have found two commands that generates the "No officer at helm station": [cont-page up], and [cont-page down]

* Not sure if this matters, but in Data/Sea/EnglishNames.cfg CLMontecuccoli==Light cruiser Montecuccoli has a doubled ==

Again, thanks for a very incredible mod![/QUOTE]

Exact Ybar talk me about this on french forum 10 days ago. :-)

ligne 290, "CLMontecuccoli==Light cruiser Montecuccoli" (one "=" of excess)
must be corrected in "CLMontecuccoli=Light cruiser Montecuccoli"

Considering how detailed the graphics are, I was a bit puzzled when the weather changed to "overcast, heavy precipitation, heavy fog" yet this is what I was sailing in:

[schlechter pfennig]

Positioned myself ahead of a convoy and waited. When it finally arrived, one escort was sunk, showing only its bow and a huge plume of smoke, while another looked like this:

Try with this
This is from readme file for dials mod FLB Sale999

If you wish to change the sliding speed simply open the menu_1024x768.ini, scroll down to [settings] and change it to whatever you prefer. It's the 3rd section down.

I'm on patrol at the moment but as soon as I dock up I'll do both. Thanks to both of you!

I'll gladly tolerate the occassional CTD just to have the amazing graphics and details!

Seems to be, yes. I suspect that's because of the large amount of ships and traffic there.

I'd love to have SH3Commander work again. I was very careful setting up the program and files for it. I suspect it might have something to do with the Malfunctions&Sabotage setting, or something similar. UPDATE: SH3Commander works fine if I disable Malfunctions&Sabotage; UPDATE 2: While
SH3Commander doesn't CTD if I disable Malfunctions&Sabotage, I'm not sure if the other settings carry over; for instance, even though I have fatigue turned on, my crew never gets fatigued.

It didn't look like a hospital ship, but I don't remember. If I run across one again I'll make a more careful note. Speaking of which, are Red Cross freighters legitimate targets?

I'm currently in a Type VIIB. There is no diesel sound at all.

It probably is, especially based on Anvar's reply. I'll change the setting once I'm docked and then see what happens.

The waves are quite good!

Like H.sie's hardcode fixes, Stiebler's lets you 'pick-and-choose' options. Some require editing of the menus and commands. The full list of possible changes are entitled: Silent-Running, Surrender, "Smoke on Horizon", Asdic (for shallow water), CAM-ship, Reduced-Ship-Warnings, Change Patrol Grid request, Minimum TC, IMproved BDU Congratulations, Null Grid fix, Weather Meter, Air Torpedo (FIDO), and Ship Speed. I'll send you via mail the documentation that comes with his mod.

I will be trying ivanov.ruslan's suggestion and see what happens. UPDATE: That setting adjusts the speed the dial pops out, and not a delay before it pops out. However, setting it about half to a third at least helps.

I'm curious to find out the answer.


Thanks again!

It should be shift-U to mount the UZO, and cont-U to store it.
