Default You know what boys?

I just realized that I'd never been attacked by aircraft in SHIII!

Still I've played two careers done and am on the third after a pause of many months!

I must be a very lucky chappy!

hehe, funny in game after 1943, it gets harder being surface during days because of planes, so we players here in SH3 mostly surface at night, submerge during the day. But here history info about leigh light in later war caused many Uboats to do the opposite of what we usually do,

devs should have had added this on planes, I wonder if modders here could do it?

Leigh lights have beem added as a mod into the game and it is also included in the NYGM TW 2.01 package and I guess it is also added into GW mod too.

I had the same experience with GW 1.1. After weeks of no aircraft I had to edit aircraft.cfg. It resulted in immediate and repeatable aircraft encounters.
YMMV, I play with high TC frequently.

I am using GW 1.1a and have had very few run-ins with the RAF or FAA. I remember something from long, long ago about patrolling with TC too high resulting in aircraft not be created in the world or something....

Can I ask what you edited and do you feel it gave you a realistic result?

*EDIT - Also, I don't have an Aircraft.cfg but do have Airstrike.cfg, I assume this is the one?

There is a bug that affects aircraft spawning. It gets worse for each speed over 256 when you use time compression.
