and now I have a Win 7 system, still "old" too because I see that Win 10 is coming out soon, which is good enough for me now

Currently the game is pure vanilla with the 1.4 mod. I just started my 1st patrol and am closing in on the Honshu patrol area, no contacts yet. Because I am an older player, turning 65 in October, I tend to forget things (lol) so all of this leads to 2 questions. What is the patrol area radius, my mind tells me it's 30 miles or so, and what is the minimum time that is needed to remain there??

Good to be back, for how long who knows, but I'm excited right now!!

Good luck to you guys too!! Herr Eeguy (yeah I know that this is a German name-ish but it's a good, funny one mainly because I'm bald!!)

beat ya!! I am 66 in Aug

I've had saved game crashes in RFB and TMO. Now I am going to try to play without RSRD and see if that helps. The newest bug I have is that my ship sinkings aren't cumulative. The game only remembers the most recent save.

If my save game issue doesn't get sorted out, I'm going to get so frustrated I'm going to have to say bye to SH4.

i am playing sh4 with the cold war mod and numurous boats

Hey there. I'm back playing after a few years away. Threw my old disc in the bin in disgust after endless problems which Ubisoft wouldn't address including being unable to sign in to their website. Was recently tempted back after seeing all the mods and information available on this excellent site. Glad I did it's a "deep" game

.

Currently running TMO and RSRD with appropriate patches along with improved ship physics. May try to up my mod soup when i begin my next campaign.

Based out of Pearl for this one just about to to start patrol number 8 with my new Balao class boat. No more sweating at 450 feet... i can sweat a bit deeper now

Loving it!

Thanks to all the modders and those who post articles without which I would have been a bit lost.
