Evening

I downloaded SH2 onto my netbook a few months back and I think that you will all understand what has happened to me since then as I began to play it more and more...

In fact, I loved it so much that I ordered a really nice PC to run SH5 on, which arrived this morning...

But I then read the forums and I felt that SH3/GWX etc = no brainer and decided to go that route instead and will watch SH5 for later. (After a few months on SH2 - you can only imagine my sheer desperation for a proper campaigne and a career to follow with port departures and promotions not to mention that gramaphone!)

So today - I downloaded what appears to be a DRM free version of SH3. I then followed all advice and instructions in this and the other forums to add all the usual mods and I thought that you would like to know that I dont need any help at this juncture. None at all...

In fact, it is all working perfectly and I put to sea a few hours ago and am currently heading into the North Sea on my first patrol.

I cannot begin to thank all of you for all that you have done here. I am an experienced simmer and played flightsim many years ago and I am pleased to say that I am also quite impressed with all the goodies that I am finding on your guys site! SH is clearly supported by a dedicated and professional user community that encompasses some excellent skills - All I can say is "Wow!"

Lastly, please forgive me if I dont respond to any replies for a short while but as you can imagine, I am headed into a very very long and eventful evening. In fact, I seriously doubt that I will get to bed before tomorrow night. Ah cool!

Thanks again and a small donation to Subsim will follow shortly. It's the very least that I can do.

Lol, don't forget to eat or sleep once in a while

But your enthousiasm is refreshing.

Btw, I've been playing flight sim too a couple of years back, but that learning curve was just to steep for me. I didn't have the time for that unfortunately, because it's a really beautiful game, and as far as sim-realism goes the #1 sim for me.
Sh3 compared to that is a little more arcade-like (easy people, don't flame me, just a little more

) but sh3 has something Flight Simulator never had IMO and that is atmosphere. I can't really explain, but let me put it like this; flight sim gives you the most realistic simulator, sh3 gives you the most realistic feeling. As someone else put it here somewhere; sh3 has got soul!

I tried installing SH3 but got an error message because of a protection program. Will SH3 run in Vista 32 operating system.

It should, for info specifically relating to Vista see here:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=105144

If you have copy of the game that includes Starforce (which I'm assuming is the DRM/protection program that is causing the problem) see here for more info on that:

Sorry I can't be more helpful but I have no personal experience with either issue. Others here do though so check out those threads and hang in there.

OUt of idle interest anyone have the community manual? I know it is years ago but my old machine could not run SH3 smoothly enough so was stuck on SH2 (not complaining). I like the mild rpg element here and the few fancy tweaks of SH3. Seems to be an improvement SH5 looks atrocious, based on reviews, how dare a crew member not perform an order!

I've got it - or maybe only parts of it - saved as a series of 19 MSWord (.doc) files. The largest file is 296 KB; five are over 100 KB each and the rest are less than 50 KB each

PM me with your email address and I'll try forwarding them to you.
