I'm thinking I was missing something major so let's see how it runs on the pc.

question: does the tuitorial actually tutor you at all? I need to know even basic things like how to turn, change course, etc. there is no manual or booklet so I don't know what to do.

also, if you could give me a link to the technical thread, I don't see it.
regards,

First off, WELCOME ABOARD!

The tutorials should tell you how to do each thing as it happens. SH3's did. If not you are at this moment consulting the best manual, tutorial and training you could ever hope for. It's hard to get questions answered while you're playing, but anything and everything you could possibly want to know is all right here in the collective Subsim hive mind. Ask anything - it will be answered.

Sorry, got carried away. But it's true.

On my end my computer has more power then asked. I have a very powerful computer and my rig pass all the test, to play SH4. All the video options are at 100%, and I hit 30 to 70 FPS, always. So why in the tutorial no one's speak to me, to show me, the ropes with the game?

If anyone have a clue well tell me, please.

For example when the first training starts, I do received writing messages and so on, but actually is there anyone suppose to speak to me like: Move ahead flank then submerged like we see with SH3 training lesson?

Thank you!

There is a manual on the SH4 disk, it's not much help but covers the basics.
About the only suggestion I can make is to go to one of tutorials and play around with all the various tools and commands to see what they all do.
There are no instructions given in the tutorials, they are just training missions.
You can find some help here:

It all seems complicated at first but you will soon get the hang of it, just stick with it. The Sim is well worth the effort.
