    Build 12 and Frigates

    Cat, I changed the setting as you suggested. I have not seen a problem occur yet. I have also committed the number one sin of software debugging. I have changed two things. I also docked my MOW. So now my fleet consists of an English Frigate and an English Corvette. Everything seems to...

    Age of Pirates Revealed!

    In one of the WWII flight sims I play allows the user to control the time compression until the user encounters the enemy, a waypoint or other friendlies. At that point the game drops to real time and it will not let you change compression until you have dealt with the issue. I think the...

    Build 12 and Frigates

    Thanks for the info. I will giver a try next time I get to fire up the game. I will also try capturing another French built Frigate and see what happens when I make it my command. I use Auto Buy because I am just to lazy to figure out how much wheat and rum to buy per crewman per day...

    Build 12 and Frigates

    Hello All, First let me say I love the new build. Everyone involved has done a great job. My problem is with the Regular Frigates. Initially I had captured a French one but every time I tried to make it the Ship I commanded the game just dumped me out. No error messages or anything, just...

    PotC Build 12 Release Announcement

    The sound is indeed integrated. Thanks for the tip. The game had been ramdomly rebooting the PC at screen changes. I will go out and try and find an updated driver. As to the saved games, I have simply abandoned them. I was only about half way through main quest and had made a few wrong...

    PotC Build 12 Release Announcement

    I downloaded the entire patch using the registry method mostly because I thought it would take to long over a dialup at home. Then after reading all the posts about having problems with a clean install I started the dialup upgrade from home. Actually took less time to do the upgrade from home...

    A couple questions about...

    Sorry! In `re-reading` my post it comes sounding a little negative. That was not my intention at all. I was in a hurry as the end of my lunch time was fast approaching. What I really wanted to know is, should I offload all the provisions and reduce the crew to minimum before berthing a ship...

    A couple questions about...

    What about supplies and Crew? Do you just leave crew and supplies aboard ship. The concept of laying up a ship means putting it in storage. That would infer that it should be empty. Also when navies `laid-up` ships they strike the top hamper/unrig down to the lower masts and bowsprit...

    Tag Along French Officer Clair Larousse Quest

    Ahoy Matey, Sail by Oxbay several times nothing happened. Tonight if I get a chance I will stop by the Oxbay mines for a look see. I have noticed Claire tends to shy away from any fighting. I have had to save his bacon several times, resulting in serious damage to my other to ships...

    What are RAR files and How do I install them?

    Sorry if this question has been asked and answered before. On a dial up line it takes for ever to sift through forums. I have finally finsihed the unmodded version and am now ready to install build 11 and some other patches. <img...

    Unkillable Fort??

    I had a sort of the same thing happen when you go Isla Muella to get your crew, ships and meet with Dannelle. Since I had a pirate ship I did a little pirateing and built up my money supply. I was had a trade mission that took me to IM. If I anchor in the harbor I never get a chance to...

    Unkillable Fort??

    I am at this same point. I have been sail from the lighthouse to the fort in realtime. I have two frigates and a corvette. I loaded the frigates to the gills with wood, bombs and sail cloth. I make trip past the fort with one frigate patching all the way, then swap to the second. Usually I...

    Realistic Sailing Model.

    Sorry I have been away for a couple days. That nasty old work stuff. Anyway from the reading I have done on the period the real danger from storms was loosing your masts or rigging and thus not being able to control the attitude at which your ship meets the waves. Which is crucial to...

    Realistic Sailing Model.

    I am playing the Out of the Box version at the moment. I am still planning on finishing it before installing any of the builds. Although the more I read and hear about the builds the more tempted I become. Has the damage model been improved? Meaning shooting away the steering gear, or...

    Swords!!?

    Are the greats available in the Original game? Do I just need to wait until I get to a higer level? I found the Dragon's Tounge in a couple spots. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0"...
