My monitor is 1920 x 1080 resolution and it fits perfectly.

Even when you do the SH3 tutorial it is in full screen with no bars.

It may be a setting in your gpu needs to be changed especially if it is a Nvidia?

I would suggest you take a look at page 6 of the installation instructions where your problem is featured.

Peter
Oh wow thanks, that got rid of the black bars.

Also I can now see the "extended periscope view" with the attack view dials and stuff, which is really handy.


Are you sure that its 1920x1080 though? IT says its 16:9 but it seems low resolution compared to other 1920x1080 mods.

It would appear to be low resolution as you are using a 10 year old game with graphics from that time.
SH5 claim to fame is it graphics and you really notice the difference.
Personally I am very impressed with the LSH3-2015 graphics when used with a decent gpu.
The widescreen 16.9 mod plays the resolution at 1368 x 768.
The original format would be 1024 x 768 which would give you the bars down the sides.
I used Ahnenerbe's 1920 x 1080 widescreen mod in GWX3.0 and personally I still prefer the LSH3-2015 setup.

Just curious what do you prefer in the LSH over Ahnenerbe?

Ahnenerbe's mod is being used in GWX3.0.
GWX3.0 has not been touched for years.
Its just a pity that the GWX modders disbanded, as its potential to have progressed over the years for the SH3 gamer would have been more than welcomed.
LSH3-2015 is bang up to date and you can really notice the difference with all the tweaks that have been made.
I am really enjoying this game more than I thought possible.

My gunner was downing them one after another and it looks like that they don't take any damage from burning engine. As far as I remember in NYGM they were using only guns but still could damage my ship and kill my crewmen.
Is this true? One thing I liked about GWX is how relentless the ASW was.

How is the difficulty level in LSH?

Hi CD

Adding swastikas to the game.
Go to your > data\Textures\TNormal\tex and delete the two .tga files
German.tga

German_m.tga
You will see swastikas on the ships but strangely not on yours.
Yours is Shift + F to raise and lower your flag.

Thanks! Maybe the player ships flag is associated with some other file?

Default Widescreen Problems

Downloaded LSH3 v2015 awhile ago and it looks like it'll be really good.

I've run into an issue with the widescreen GUI that doesn't appear to have an answer.

I'm getting the "Can not initialize 3D engine" error with the widescreen GUI installed.

I've already got the "Enable GPU scaling" and "Scale image to full panel size" options selected, but no dice.

Specs as follows:

Monitor: Viewsonic VA2406M-LED
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6670
Drivers: 8.812.0.0

The really bizarre thing is that the non-widescreen GUI doesn't appear to be scaled incorrectly (i.e. I don't have ovals instead of circles or black bars on top/bottom or sides).

Any ideas?

Hey guys,

why is it that in SH3 commander, the only flotilla i have the option of choosing is Erprobungsstelle?

And even the options in uboats are limited until 1941. For example I cannot choose a type 7 until '41.

Hi CD.

You will always start in the Erprobungstelle flotilla usually in Stralsburg or Kaseburg.
This flotilla is only ever used as a testing flotilla for new boats and not for war patrols or missions.
When docked you should immediately award medals, promotions etc and then use the telephone to transfer to another flotilla.
After transferring exit the game.
When you load the game you will see there are now 2 saves in the menu
After mission> Your docked save.
Before mission > The one you are about to start
This before mission loads to the office where you can select a new boat if one is available, equipment, torpedo load etc and make your changes to your crew,

You do not have to start pre-war in a VIIA but can start in a VIIB and upgrade later to a IXB when it becomes available.
I got my IXB on March 10th 1940.

You should have been able to transfer after your first patrol in the VIIA to a VIIB.
Radio messages will tell you when new boats become available as the game develops.

I would suggest that you look at pages 15,16, and 45 in the PDF mini manual.

When you loaded SH3Commander for the first time (Before doing the SH3 tutorial) where you saw the VIIA did you open the drop down box and see if you also had the option of a VIIB to select?

Peter

Default BugFix install

Do I need to install all BugFix, or the latest one only?
