Refueling at Vigo

Archive1 · 03-18-07, 05:23 PM

Have been using GWX enhancement of SH3 for awhile and now need to use the Vigo base for provisioning. Haven't done that before. Do you Save and Exit after entering Vigo harbor and chose "Dock at Vigo" (if that choice exists?). Then reload using the Career option for the active Kaleun and find that your fuel is now topped off? Can one refuel at W'haven and then proceed to Kiel, should that be needed before entering the Kiel canal? Am familiar with refueling in flight sim programs, but not here. And don't want to lose the data from a (so far) successful patrol.

Docking at any other friendly port or a milkcow\resupply will end your current patrol I'm afraid

Press esc
End mission
Dock at *****

Not much point docking at Wilhemshaven if going to Kiel

If you are using SH3 commander 2.6 and above it will recognise you are at a resupply and set days in port to 1 instead of the usual 28

Yeah its the only slight down side IMHO would be good if you could just siddle up to the milk cow do the RAS and head back to base or go get more tonnage

Damn I never realized that till now. That explains a whole lot of things when I did it.

does the lastest sh3cmd change the amount of days in port, does it also continue the patrol u are on or do u start a new patrol

Rats! Well, at least I have enough fuel to get back to Kiel. However, although for some tiime I have used SH3 Commander OK before with GWX, I now cannot get it to work with GWX (standard GWX version...not v 1.02 or whatever). Before you tell me, yes, I used Cmdr V2.7 and uploaded and installed the GWX upgrade of SH3 Cmdr specifically for GWX. I have installed and totally uninstalled SH3 multiple times to try to get it to work: GWX opens, but when I start a patrol, it gets to about 90% of fully loaded and then hangs up completely. When I uninstall SH3 Cmdr everything works fine.

As far as the refuel situation is concerned: why do we get a message that a supply ship is available in Vigo, if it can't supply anything but delay?

And (then I'll shut up) I have noticed that not one gauge in the type VIIB is accurate, from clock, to depth gauge, to oxygen gauge, to compass etc in the control room.
