GWX "F1" key question

GuySajerGD · 01-20-11, 02:24 AM

Installed GWX (clean, no other mods)

And I get no info for enemies of Germany.....just additional hot key info, and nothing for resupply info (is that info provided as dates/time goes on), nothing for subs or distance and flotilla news I and II are empty as well.

WELCOME ABOARD!

For information on "Enemies Of Germany" go to the periscope or UZO view. In the upper left corner you will find a pull-down list showing all nations and their status by date.

I can't help with resupply as I've never played far enough in for it to be available.

Hit F1

That brings up a list of menus on the Left, Click the topic you want to view.

All the info you ask for is there.

Not being rude, but I do not think that you understood my post, I am pressing the "F1" key and then pressing said topic and as mentioned before: I get no info for enemies of Germany.....just additional hot key info, and nothing for resupply info (is that info provided as dates/time goes on), nothing for subs or distance and flotilla news I and II are empty as well.

And thanks Sailor Steve....I am using that pull down menu. I made sure to read the GWX manual. And even in the manual it makes no mention of these submenu topics.

Ahhh.. so you click on the menus, and they are devoid of any info. Gotcha.

Dunno... sounds like a file got lost during the install.

But as Steve said, the pull down flag recognition chart is easier to use than the F1 info.

And resupply info can be found just be looking at your map, If it's there, it's there.

In my experience if one part of a mod doesn't work properly, then in all probability there's another part that is also absent or corrupted, which you might not stumble across until you're 5+ patrols into a career and you have to reinstall. As you're new to GWX, I'd recommend reinstalling and checking the F1 menu again. I've had this happen to me before (different mod, different game), and I chose to ignore it as everything else 'appeared' to work normally. However, after a month of playing and building up quite a few hours I was faced with an error that basically brickwalled my progress, forcing me right back to the beginning again.

With SH3 and GWX, you tend to get quite attached to your U-Boat and it's crew, so having to scrap it after a long time and some memorable adventures will be a lot more hassle than sorting it out now while all your crew are still wet behind the ears.

Damo.

P.S. if you haven't already, get SH3Commander, it's a absolute must, no question...
