I reworked the existing mod from Travinski "U-Boat War Ace Campaign". Since this mod is an extra ordinary good job (Norway Campaign, Capture of Gdansk, Hunt of the Bismark,Operation Overlord,etc.).
I was never satsified with the positions of ships in all harbours. They were somehow loveless spread into them and did not arrouse much sympathy to me.
I changed positions and added ships to harbours of Germany, England, France, Norway, Spain, Italy, North Africa and North America.
Also I changed and added some harbour traffic in different ports like Kiel, Wilhelmshafen, Hamburg, Flensburg, NewYork, Galveston and Tampa, etc.
In North America I added tanker routes between Galveston and Tampa. Additional german warship traffic is also included... Operation Sportpalast other traffic of Hipper,Gneisenau, Scharnhorst,Blücher, etc.

Events:

1. The Graf Spee leaves Wilhelmshaven direction south-atlantic.

13. Operation Halberd on british convoy leaves Gibraltar direction Malta; being attacked by ital.forces
14. Operation Cerberus (channel breakthrough) From Brest the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen break through the channel direction Wilhelmshaven
15. The Prinz Eugen & the Admiral Scheer leave Brunsbüttel (bay near Hamburg) within Operation Sportpalast
16. The Tirpitz leaves Wilhelmshaven direction north icesea to engage Murmansk convoys.

NEW FILES with included mods

Good work. Do you have an additional minefield set which was not included in the last version but posted later by Travinski?

I may soon have a set of landing crafts/amphibious vessels, such as LCI/L 1-350, 351, LCT MK5, LCT MK6. These can be used for Allied landing operations, included in the campaign, such as Sicily invasion, D-day, etc.

[HanSolo78]

Thx!
I didn´t change minefileds yet.
In the readme Travinski mentioned that minefields will disappear I think. Do you mean this issue?
Special vessels for landing operations are excellent!!!

[sergbuto]

No I did not mean dissappearance effect. That bug was related to the unpatched version of the game. That is why Travinski removed most of minefields. The additional minefield set is supposed to bring back all the mine fields but was included in the last version.

HanSolo78,

You might speak with Teddy Bar regarding his reduced density minefields. Teddy has done quite a bit of tough work fixing some historically based minefields that were so dense in SH3 that CTD's were problematic.

If you ask him nicely, I'll bet he'd share them with you.

[irish1958]

This look terrific. Any idea as to when it might be ready?

@ irish1958

there are again and again things which I change a bit, after I tested them (neverending story) but actually I could release it immediately.

@Kpt. Lehmann+Der Teddy Bar

Thx for your advices and response.
At the moment I focus on traffic and have no plans to change minefields. Maybe I could ad them in the near future.

[Panama Red]

Looking forward to your results/release.

[HMCS]

Do you have a basic text file description of the mod handy?

Thanks!

I am confused as to exactly what this is.

It sounds similar to Rubini's Harbor Traffic Mod plus the inclusion of actual historic events, scripted into the campaign.

Am I correct? If so, are there essential differences between Rubini's mod and this one, as far as harbor traffic goes?

And is this mod RUb compatible?

[Zinmar]

Will there also be conflicts with those using Harbor Traffic?
