Ha! I see you couldn't resist parking your Gato in an U-Boat pen. Seeing how the other half lives. :cool:

The shot of you in the U-Boat pen really shows off the SH4 graphics engine and whets my appetite for what can happen when the update comes out. Think I'll shell out the cash and wait to see if the GWXers bail me out!:up:

Then maybe it's Back to the Atlantic!:rock:

It was not simply to park with the Gato in the small u-boat bunker, now i know why the germans u-boat was so small. Better to parking. ;)

There is a whole crew of extremely and equally talented modders already here up to their neck in SH4 modding.

Let's not forget them.

A GATO in a sub pen. Now I have seen everything!!! :rock:

So, fess up. Did you actually sail there (unlimited fuel obviously), or just use the mission editor?

Either way, you get an A for effort!

Okay, now I'm intrigued. There are shots of Kiel, but...did they follow the modders' lead, and add in the Kanal? The photos don't show...:-?

Of course if it can be fixed once it can be fixed twice, but I was curious.

Ok, hang on.

What are these from exactly? A mod in the works.?

Because, Like a total idiot, I just sailed all the way over there to get my own screens, and there isn't a damn port anywhere except for Cape Town.

What am I missing here?

i use unlimited fuel in a single mission. Actually i must set down Agents in Japan. :D

No, iīm not a Modder. My configuration of SH4 is:
German Version
Patch v1.3
Trigger Maru 1.6.4
Sobers better mountain mod

Perhaps the Ports intregrated with Trigger Maru, but i dont know or the german Version.

If memory serves that's about how the Kanal looked in stock SH3 as well, but wasn't the Moltenort Memorial added by GW and GWX? What's it doing in SH4?
MONOLITH
10-27-07, 05:20 PM
I'm using RSRD....

Is it possible that one of the files in there is the map and it did not include those ports?

I'm telling you, none of those atlantic ports are in my game. US DVD retail version.

Can anyone else chime in on this? Just start a mission and look around on your map.

Please.

Problem solved.

One of the mods I was using had altered a campaign layer, and removed all of the Atlantic ports except Cape Town.

Still not sure which one, but my ports are back.

Now, I just need the playable U-boats from the add-on. ;)

The Panama\Kiel and Suez canals werent in stock SH3 either
They were added later by Ref IIRC

If I also remember right he said he would look to convert his SH3 terrain editor to work on SH4 when GWX finished
If of course it hasnt already been done by then :up:

The Panama canal is not in the game. :cry:

Wouldn't it be nice if someone really was able to add the Panama canal. Then we could refuel at the CZ, or the East Coast, then Scotland etc... many US Subs did patrols in the Atlantic and the Pacific Theatre's.

Thanks mopedmoppel for this thread. Following your lead I took the tour around the cape, up the East Coast, to NY etc today and if SH4 lets me reload the Save I plan to cross the Atlantic and see what you saw just for fun.

What great potential SH4 has!

hmm... just need to add the Great Lakes too for my Manitowoc boats.

Thank you for the feedback, I hope you have enjoyed the trip. It would be a pity not to have seen all that for which programmers have invested so much time. And the graphic arts are wonderful over and over again.
i hope we received an atlantic scenario in the addon :)

This is an unbelievable thread! All that work to go into ports we would never see! Doesn't that HAVE to mean something about the future of the Silent Hunter franchise? They wouldn't do all that work just to waste time would they? Obviously I have some exploring to do after I finish my current career.:up:

Thank YOU for the heads up on the "world tour" abilities of the game. I think my crew may be in for a longer tour than they expected after seeing this thread.
Those are some fantastic screenshots as well. :up:
