I'm having a problem rescuing the 3 rafts, after sinking the foxtrot subs.
I'm surfaced, speed less than 3 knots, and closer than 100 yeards but I can't pick them up. I've even tried getting in front of where they are drifting, go to 0 knots and let them come to me, but when they get too close I get collision damage. What's going on??? |

To pick up a raft you must
a) be on the surface
b) be going no faster than 3 knots
c) approach the raft to within 100 yards
Aside from your raft problem, tell me about your experiences with SW thus far... I have a reason for asking

Well I have all the add ons, and have advanced the mission up to that point, but have encountered the flying subs. The first one was the "escort" sub to the strait. After it was killed it took off flying, last seen over Italy at 80,000 feet and 140 knots. The second was one of the foxtrots, that took off flying. After this happened 10 times, I turned on truth to kill it before it took off.
I love playing this sim........
What esle do you need to know?? |

I have no idea why this is not working for you. I guess I'll have to do some experimenting... |

I went back and checked the requirements to make sure it wasn't my fault. But I'm doing all three of the above. It's supposed to be like the helo transfer right, it just happens automaticaly? |

| Ok I think I solved it. I went back farther and played the senario before the strait and I didn't have a problem... |

| Okay! You had me scratching my head there... been testing the pickup ever since your first post and everything was working. |

I went back to an earlier save and played it from there. All worked ok. Thanks for checking, I have been working on playing this through for awhile and love it!
Thanks again,

Another question......
How many Lybian threats are there? Right now I have already sunk the foxtrots, and resuced the swimmers and sunk aome LST's but the game won't let me end.
The goals say I have another threat and rescue..... |

| Review your radio messages. You should have one that says the Tunis visit is cancelled, and to proceed to X-ray. |

Yes,
I have 2 messages saying that ship is sunk, and 2 goals to rescue crew and 2 goals to eliminate lybian trheat.
Everything is repeated from my last save.....
Guess I'll start over again sometime |
