2. Do Not Use UNLIMITED TORPEDOS

That does seem like an "incredible" amount of tonnage.

Wasn't there a thread about Gibs cheating in multiplayer, using mods unfairly, reload times etc. http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=41042

Thats sounds like a great idea, also to stop anyone cheating maybe they have to take a screen shot of the realism settings.
We have two types of players the 100% realism and those that want WO (weapon officer) help so a 86% realism i think. Then its just WO players versus each other for high tonnage & the same for the full realism players.

What will the prize be?

Its not hard to get high tonnage on that map, contary to the makers belief. Never shoot at anything smaller than a C3/T3 with your torps and use your DG on nothing smaller than a coastal, every thing else use the flack, you will rake in the tonnage. As for the escorts, sink only those that you must to gain the max tonnage.

As to the "Challange" its not much of a 1, the end result I gave was genuine and because I had done so quickly and with a good tonnage I believe it was pulled because the guy thought it was impossable (read got his nose outa joint). Its anything but. Nowdays I play this map with a type XXI and go on a killing spree.

I've downloaded the file and extracted it to the SH3\data\SingleMissions\English\Florida 1944\ directory. I don't have any mission summary and I can't start the mission. I've also tried creating it in the SH3\data\SingleMissions\German\Florida 1944\ directory without any luck.

I even tried placing a media.cfg file into the directory. All of the other single mission directories have this media.cfg file.

Any thoughts???

Jmack · 01-12-06, 11:42 PM

the file must be place in the english folder not the german one ...

i think ... at least thats how it worked for me

about the mission ... depending on what you route you take i headed south making half a circle and i only was depth charged
once on the first attack . lost my attack periscope and the other was damaged it didnt mark targets until i managed to surface and repair it. after the first attack i only saw a another war ship ... and only planes bother me from time to time. i even wasnt credited for 2 kills . using hidrophone i can listen all the war ships above my position on the map ... and even when planes spot me they dont seem to be interested .

OrlandoM3 · 01-13-06, 01:01 AM

Figured it out. It creates a florida44 extracted directory. The directory you have to create is Florida 44 instead of florida44. It has to have a space in between Florida and 44. I've added the file directly to my own server to for everyone to download. You can't link to it you have to go to the downloads page and find it under the SHIII Custom Missions page.
