SSS_ 45.29N 09.45W

SS.(Name of ship)

Anybody know how I can locate a ship based on these cooridate systems?

Thansk in advance

Hi Rob.
Only thing I can think of is a camera mod someone made that allows the F12 cam to rise much higher than the stock cam.
I found it, on http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/ . Point on UBRS DLC on the left side and then SH3 Mods, there you will find CameraMod_v2.0. It allows you to take the camera upp to 2000m But don´t use it with GWX as it changes some other camera settings too.

Thanks a bunch.

I had a problem and had to reinstall SH3 I deleted the program and all folders that I made that was associated with the game. But when I install the SH3 disc and install it does it but when I go to play it comes up saying the Campaign RND is invaild? I am sure I have removed all folders and addon's. Is there something that I can run that would remove everything that goes to SH3 or is my stock disc junk now?

Have been denied my SH III for far too long while I build my new Pc. Thanks for the helpful info, lots of stuff I didnt realise existed that will help me when I get back up and running on the new hardware!

Hello all,


I don't find an other thread to post this message, sorry if it's not the right place.

I discovered SH3 since a few week ago and GWX a few days later.
It's absolutly wonderfull and I am really enjoyed to see all accomplished work by the GWX team !
And it is for that that I want to thank you all for the enormous work which you made. The result is very beautyfull and the game is made even more pleasant to play.

Very big thanks to all.

Regards.

I second that. But really I think that goes to ALL the modders at SUBSIM. Whether working together or not, they all contribute to making this game rock.

To an extent that simply amazes me.

Recently installed SH3. I've noticed when on the bridge the watch crew have their hands cupped over their eyes but they (all of them) aren't holding any binoculars. Is this a bug? Is it fixed by installing one or more of the available patches?

This is a stock bug if I remember correctly. does it happen all the times? If it does I would suggest a re-install, if not then you can still play the game without too much trouble. Unfortunatelly SH3 is full of these bugs, and the only way around them is to know them and try to avoid them.

[Devilray]

The missing binoculars bug has occurred every time the bridge station is selected during the five Naval Academy missions and the Happy Times single mission. I'll try the reinstall.

Thanks
