Neues FT absetzen.

Rafael · 06-19-09, 03:55 PM

I am playing SH 3 in German lanuguage with GWX 3.0, can someone explain me what the sentence below means?

"Neues FT absetzen, wenn Boot 15 Stunden vor Einlauhafen steht!"

Thank you!

While I cannot give you exactly what "FT" means, I believe the meaning of the sentence is that they want you to confirm your ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) for your destination port. This is to plan your meeting with the escorts taking you into the base (Einlaufhafen).

"FT" could mean Funk Telemeldung - radio message.

P.S.: Who is generating those wild Avatars.....

They seem to crop up every once in a while. They only last for a couple of posts, then change.

Must have been a pretty wild night, uh?

"Send new radio message (FunkTelegramm=FT) when U-Boat is 15 hours away from docking port!"

Thanks all (until now)!

"Send new radio message (FunkTelegramm=FT) when U-Boat is 15 hours away from docking port!"

I did the above. I thought FT must be Funk Telegramm, however when I have sent the FT, it gave me the same message as before.

Message:

"Neues FT absetzen, wenn Boot 15 Stunden vor Einlauhafen steht!"

Because it was the same message, I went (by my own) without escorts to the return base St. Nazaire.

I must say that I have sent (the first message) 8 hours away from docking port.

Is that the problem, the 8 hours? BTW, I did not see any escort?

Thanks again!

@Rafael: Don´t take that message too seriously

GWX generates this standard message if you´re out of torpedoes. The text was modified by GWX, changing the vanilla thing into something more realistic.
Well... you can send your status wherever you are at every time... you´ll always receive this FT again and again and again....

No clue with the missing escorts... i´m always stationed in Lorient

Thanks Machinist's Mate!

You are from Germany so you must understand the FT sentence.

It was some confusing for me, my German is quite good (I am 52 years old

and probably the oldest player here I suppose?), however now everything is clear. I have to figure out, where the escorts are - when returning to base -, because as said before, I did not see a specific escort ship.

Many thanks for the help.

I don't think so. I've seen people here in their 70s.

The escorts can be found near the bases. They repeatedly sail in and out of the base, never going too far from the coast.

Welcome aboard!

Don't expect to find any untill you are quite near your base.....different when leaving base, then often a M35 is on its way out - which you can trail. Only times I have found this worthwhile is out of Bergen at the end of the war. There are some nasty minefields in the exits to the North Sea.

Not even close. I'm 59, and as pointed out we have a few who are over 70.

Oh, and WELCOME ABOARD!

Thanks All! You are all very friendly

I am playing the game for about two months and I am addicted, it is almost an obsession! I am happy to hear that there are people whith even older ages! GREAT.

A new problem

Yesterday night I saved my game and was NOT submerged. No ships nearby. Today I started the SH III with GWX 3.0 and I got an error from Windows.

"AppName: sh3.exe AppVer: 1.4.0.1 ModName: sh3.exe
ModVer: 1.4.0.1 Offset: 000ba5ea"

Now I cannot go further with my game, my question is:

1) Do you have (sometimes) the same problem?
2) Do you use several (multiple) saves during a game?

I always use one save e.g. AM14 and overwrite it.

What is the best way to save and do you have the same problems?

Thanks all. AND AHOY

Did that happen when loading the savegame, or when Sh3 itself started up

In fact everthing was fine until I load the savegame, then you see in the words "Not so long ago ..." (in German). After the sentence "Not so long ago ..." I got the Windows message, with the error:

"AppName: sh3.exe AppVer: 1.4.0.1 ModName: sh3.exe
ModVer: 1.4.0.1 Offset: 000ba5ea"

I think when I would load a campain everything would be fine. It is the last savegame?

I have also been pestered by this problem sometimes. I have tried all the advice given here but have found that the only real solution is to always finish the patrol before the game is shut down.....

Also, I go out of the game before I start a new one through the Commander. A couple of times (very rare) the game has shut itself down in the middle of the game but that has probably been because of an overload. Like going into Dunkirk during the evacuation.

I make multiple saves & I don't overwrite previous ones as I've had problems with ctd's when overwriting saved games. With multiple saves you have some chance(s) of salvaging a patrol if you experience a crash. There is no 100% effective solution to the SH III saved game crashing problem. You can follow all the tips posted here & still have a crash on reloading a game...
