I am not sure what the problem is; Penny et al changed the ranges in GWX3.0 to reflect the real life ranges of the vessels. Perhaps Pablo didn't include these changes in the 3.0 manual.
I'll check with them.

As near as I can tell, the problem is that SH3 renders the world flat while it is a globe. The numbers were changed to reflect how far the particular vessel could travel on a load of fuel. The numbers in SH3/GWX3.0 are as realistic as possible, and are a compromise. See pages 50 and 51 in the GWX3.0 manual.
As far as the conversion of the Km in the .sim files; I am working on an answer. Since I don't know how to open the .sim files, I can't check your math or logic.
When I get a definitive answer, I'll get back to you.

I'm actually thinking of printing part of the GWX3 manual, but printing it as a .pdf uses a LOT of ink just to print the background and then the text is nearly illegible.

Is there a Word version available somewhere?

There was some earlier discussion during development regarding a 'printer-friendly' version of the manual.

I'll talk to Pablo and get back to you here. Just give me a couple of days if you would.

(Wouldn't it be cool if we could give out hard-back copies of Pablo's awesome work?

Alternatively, if you want to remove them yourself, you'll need Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro or above. Select the Object tool, click on the background image (it highlights) and hit Del. Wash, Rinse & Repeat for all 644 pages.

Yep, I'd expect your time here to be short too.

Not content with your previous insults, you have decided to baselessly insult and accuse Neal also.

Hi Irish,

you can use Silent3Ditor (S3D) to open the .sim files and check the range values.

In the GWX3-Manual one can read that the ranges from Stock SH3 have been enlarged by 25% up to 33% (depending on the ship type) in order to account for the problem, that the SH3 world is flat while the real world is a globe. The results, that means the increased values, are written into table 9 on page 51. I divided these values through 1.85 in order to get the values in miles (instead of kilometers) because I wanted to compare them with the values of the .sim files. And found out that they differ.....

Greetings,
h.sie

Come on, John, whatever differences of opinion we have, is there really any call to insult me?

Owner, I have received a bad post from a member concerning this accusation. What is your bag? Lighten up and enjoy the day.

Hmm...that's strange. I'm wondering if it could have anything to do with the system administrator eventually getting round to installing IE 8 last week?
