New, No Game & LOST
Hi All, I am an avid subsim fan from way back and I want to get back but I am reeeeally leery about which, where, how, etc.
I have played SH2/3, DW and probably a couple others, but 15-30 years ago. Different computers and black screens, etc. have kept me away. My computer: (2.5 years old - Gaming capable...then) ACPI x64 PC I7-4810MQ 2.8 gigahertz (8 processors) 16G Ram Twin 4G NVidia GTX-870 boards SoundBlaster/Nvidia WIN10 - Everything updates pretty automatically Okay, before I go buying software or tinkering, I would be grateful for direction. Looking about, I think DW is non-WWII and a probability. I am happy using a mouse or 10-15 hotkeys. Thanks, Del - I have this tied to my e-mail, so I will show up within an hour this weekend if someone has time. |

Welcome to Subsim Delgard. You have pretty good equipment and should have no problems playing anything although I don't have any experience with Win 10 and gaming. I'm not sure what you are looking for but the Silent Hunter series has a number of Mega mod add on's for the various SH simulations.
Let us know the direction you want to take and we'll help if we can. |

Dangerous Waters (DW)
I like the modern, more analytical situations.
Thanks |

I'd suggest Dangerous Waters: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/forumdisplay.php?f=181

I thought I was going to get e-mails but I got just one since I last posted...
Thanks all. I will head for the link Jimbuna. I think I have read everything in the DW general forum. I will snoop more. I restarted my Steam account. Took awhile to re-find my login/PW. Should I determine initial downloads and do that here or at Steam? Does it matter? |

The general consensus is that the physical game DVD is better than the downloads from Steam. There seems to be less problems that way. I don't play dangerous waters so I know very little of it. The advice JimBuna gave is probably the best course of action.
If you need assistance or something specific, ask us here or in a private message. Good luck with everything. |

DW
I downloaded from Steam. Downloaded the mods from here. DW seems good. I wish I could name my own subs.
I also got 688i running good, for which I learned on. All except the 5" x 5" screen. In one of the scenario downloads, the Bismark and Cesrus missions look for a graphic. I dumped all files into the Scenario folder so they should be findable. If anyone has the graphic I would be grateful. Thanks for all the posts/files Oh, I think I got my headset working, too. As it is now, I just use it for sound, but eventually, it will be a voice comms asset. Del |
