Recognition Manual Question/Problem

Goat · 10-20-06, 02:38 PM

I don't find all the British ships in the Manual. At least not the Civilian Cargo Ships.
Is there some reason for a SHIII / 1.04b / GW game to NOT show them??? I couldn't even THROW a gob of diesel rag at the ship...without ID, range, etc... in High Realism.

Ummm what ship ?
IIRC all cargo ships show in the manual automatically unless there isnt a .sil for the ship in question

In mine I never see any civilian ships, only military ships. Any nation.

(when using 1.4b and gw1.1a)

Yeaaaa... Coda. I got so close I could spit on their deck... I ***KNOW*** that was a Brit flag. I seem to recall from the Naval Academy that this was a 'coastal freighter'. I know for sure it wasn't a 'C2'... and I'd guess there are a lot of those around?

I wonder if there is a part of The Manual that you can't see without somehow dragging it somewhere?

How the heck can you set up for a shot if you can't I.D. and get distance, draft, etc ??

Two things: one, if you click on 'ship' at the upper left of the notepad, that will automatically open the recognition manual to the correct ship type/class. Secondly, the merchants aren't found under their nationality, but under the heading for merchants (I don't remember how that is spelled a-la-Duetche). Regardless of the nationality, you'll find the merchants only in the merchant section of the manual.

GOT IT!!! Thanks to that Ravishing Beauty, 'Avon Lady' ... if indeed Avon Lady *IS* a lady ...

Check it out... in the Rec Manual you will sooner or later find "HANDELSSCHIFFE"....
which apparently is Deutch for 'merchant ships'.

I would never have found that as I am only fluent in three (3) languages : English, Filthy and Obscene...

Thank you, 'Ma'am'

Dunno 'bout that... I clicked on 'ship' on the notepad... and.. nothing happened. Maybe the ship was too far away for even Notepad to I.D. it ??
