Compass Mod by Ripbud. This mod makes the compass text a bit
more readable. Suggested: back up your original image file just in case you
don't like this one.
Install: Extact the included TGA file to the following directory:

NAVIGATION MAP COURSE SOLVER By
Captain America. The process is
quick and simple:
To determine a contact's true course on the navigation map all you have to
do is drag (left click and hold) the map so that the contact in question is
placed in the center of the compass located in the lower right corner of
the map...now the exact course is revealed. I've included two images of the
process as well. I highly recommend using the "360 Bearing Tool Mod" by
Jace11 and the "Improved Map Drawing Tools" by Phapponen to complete your
mapping needs. The combination of these mods should be enough to hold
everyone over with regards to mapping tools until an official fix is
released by UBI.
360
Degree Bearing Plotter for Navigation Map. Designed to help plotting contacts, courses, and interceptions on 100%
realism. This tool rotates with your boat, but is only visible when zoomed
in. The .zip file contains 4 folders. These are 3 different versions of the
bearing tool and the default SHIII textures. by

Patches
SH3 v1.2 US DVD Patch
This US DVD patch is for those people who have installed Silent
Hunter III from a US purchased DVD. Please ensure you install the
relevant patch for your version of the game. For other
versions, visit the
Official SH3 downloads page.
New patches modify game data and in some cases, the saves that are
made while in missions will not load properly. We highly
recommend, before installing a patch, that “all the Captains
should return to bases” or to load a previous in base save (after
install) in order to avoid possible problems.
The version of the multiplayer game has been labeled as 1.2 and it
is incompatible with previous versions (i.e. 1.0 or 1.1). Please
ensure you only play against people who have the same version of
game as you, as this will stop any problems or getting the message
"Wrong game version" when attempting to play multiplayer games.
As
with any patch, it is very likely to overwrite any mods you have
installed. If you have made changes to any config files, you will
most likely need to uninstall SH3 and reinstall before applying the
v1.2 patch. Saved games are retained, screenshots are not. Decide
for yourself what and how to back up.

PACIFIC
ACES FOR SILENT HUNTER 2
The total
conversion from U-boats in the Atlantic to US Silent Service in the Pacific
The Sub models have
been meticulously reskinned to represent the American fleet class subs,
including the Tambor, Gato, Balao, and Perch models. Visually, the hulls and
conning tower structures are quite a departure from Doenitz’s German subs. It’s
funny but when you think about it, the only difference between a German sub and
a US sub on a computer screen is few more pixels here, a few less there.
However, seeing is believing and when you see the Pacific Aces artwork, you
believe you’re at sea with the US Navy. And the differences are more than skin
deep; each sub class has its own diving and sailing characteristics and weapons
loadouts. To top it off, the PA conversion includes the rain and water mod so
your new subs sail in superior seas. Random patrol zones. Random convoys. Even
random weather!

PACIFIC ACES FOR SH2
"ACES"
KAMPAIGN FOR SILENT HUNTER 2 v1
by Hitman, installer by McBeck
A new campaign for SH2 with emphasis on randomly generated elements!
1) Random patrol
zone assignment: Each time you start a mission, the game will tell you a
different area to patrol. Due to the game's engine limitation, it will choose
only from three different.
2) Random convoys composition: All the convoys programmed to appear will not
always be the same. The game will randomly choose between three different on
each mission, and sometimes even more. For each year of the War the possible
convoys are different, ( And accurate to the period ) though sometimes the ones
from the stock game's mission generator are used, so that those may be familiar
to you. All in all, there are 50 different, so I hope you will get enough
variation. Doing different convoys for each programmed group would mean a total
of 180! So if you would like to see some more of the already existing ones, just
begin programming. I would love to see people in the community create a patch
for this campaign ;^)
3) Random convoy routes: The convoys will not always start at the same place,
nor take the same routes, They will instead sail all around randomly, more or
less near you ( The more advanced the war, the less possibilities of finding
them you'll have )
4) Random merchants and columns: Same as airplanes do appear in the game, lone
merchants and small columns of a maximum three ships may appear near you,
randomly. Of course, in late periods they will not longer be there, because
ships grouped historically in convoys, leaving the old method of sailing
independently.
5) Carrier Air cover: Carriers in the campaign have in later periods airbases
attached to them. If you get close to the carrier and are detected, an aircraft
will spawn to attack you.

"ACES" KAMPAIGN
Fletcher's Enhancement Mod v2.1
This mod changes hundreds of files in Silent Hunter
2. The following lists just a few of these changes:
* All of the game's default single Scenarios and all
Campaign scenarios have been improved by adding RoE (Rules of Engagement) for
all ships, submarines, aircraft, and gun turrets. Included are the two fixed
campaign scenarios: "2BSubhunt" and "8Bfestung".
* Added random elements to all of the default campaign missions. This involved
adding random merchant, warship, and aircraft encounters to each scenario. Some
objectives were also changed, or additional objectives were added, to a few
campaign scenarios.
* Added all NEW changing weather fronts for all campaign scenarios and single
scenarios.
* The player will now have the opportunity to sail
in 9 different U-boats as he progresses throughout the course of the campaign.
The new U-boat types have been added to the mission briefings.
* The version 2.0 campaign and single scenarios are now compatible with
Seeadler's graphic mods: Sun, Sky, and Land mods.
* Created a campaign mission saved game feature. Now you will be able to save
your campaign missions at any time you wish and then play them again when you
want.
* New Contact ID Mod. When a surface or air contact becomes visible on the map,
you will only see a generic grey icon. No other information will be available to
you. Greater emphasis has been placed on your sound man, as it was historically.
This will incorporate changed icons, changed sound files, changed messages (for
several stations), etc and should provide for more realistic gameplay and
challenge.

SH2-DC INTEROP v1.1 PATCH - by Ubi-Soft/Ultimation. Adds
multiplayer, mods ship characteristics, and improves AI.
Also makes SH2 compatible with Windows XP.
-
MULTIPLAYER SUPPORT
The primary purpose of this patch is to introduce multiplayer support to
Silent Hunter II. This includes the following features:
- Added support for multiplayer with other SH2 users.
- Added support for multiplayer with DC users.

XP systems.
- Fixed intermittent crash in damage control station on Windows 2000 and
XP systems
- Fixed problem involving the "spawning" of surface ships in scenarios.
This fixes a crash in the "Fortress Europe" mission.
- Moved storage of interface textures from system memory to video
memory. This fixes an occasional game slowdown or crash on certain
combinations of Windows 95/98/ME systems and Nvidia video cards.
- Fixed a crash that occurred when many simultaneous sound effects were
played on certain Win98/ME systems with Soundblaster Live! or Audigy
soundcards.

after they lose initial contact.
- Enemy depth charge attacks are now somewhat less accurate.
- Enemy aircraft will now initiate attacks against submarines spotted at
periscope depth.

detached.
- The water's surface is now displayed with both animated "chop" and an
additional subsurface layer.
- The depth gauge's gradations have been recalibrated and the artwork
refined.

reversed (they are now correct).
- Spelling of "Tiefenmesser" corrected on sliding navigation panel.
- "Spawned" surface ships now emit smoke from their stacks.
- German 1936 type destroyers now emit smoke from their stacks.

normal depth changes (~2kts vs ~4kts)
- If a pursuing ASW subgroup is destroyed, another ASW subgroup will be
detached.
- Air-dropped depth charges explode at 25ft vs 50ft depth (be careful).
- Updated crush depth and AA gun descriptions info for U-boats in the
Vehicle viewer to reflect what is modeled in the game and to be consistent
with Destroyer Command.
- Numerous (generally minor) changes to data files and 3D models to make
SH2 and DC have matching data.
- SCENARIO-SPECIFIC CHANGES
- "Matchlight" mission now contains enough enemy merchant shipping to
make its secondary objective completable.

dispositions, and had its briefing updated.

aground on a small island.
- "Fortress Europe" now features extensive enemy air cover.
- In "Drumbeat," "Blitzkrieg," and "Fortress Europe," tonnage credit for
sunk merchants will no longer disappear after several days of playing.
SUBSIM Review
SH2
Second Kampagne
PART I consists of 14 missions, from the North Sea, to the Atlantic, to the Caribbean. The
Second Kampagne is designed to take advantage of some of the wonderful features Ultimation
built into SHII, such as U-boat pens, varying levels of ship inclusion probability, and shadowing
objectives. Missions begin closer to port than any WWII subsim you ever played, with specific tasking
orders and an assigned patrol zones. You will often be escorted to sea by a German patrol craft
and you may catch
Thomsen
returning from patrol. Player will encounter a variety of foes and not all are correctly identified on the map.
Includes variable ship routines, historical accuracy, multiple patrol zones, blistering radio traffic,
and tenacious foes. Great convoy battles. 20 day patrols.

Silent Hunter II Realism Pack
v1.4
- Many of the Subsim 1.3 Realism Pack
features were added to the Ubisoft OFFICIAL SH2 v1.1 patch, tested
exclusively by Subsim.com. The new Subsim Realism Pack v1.4 leaves the patch
improvements "as is" and tweaks a few elements that the v1.1 patch intentionally
left out.
Upgrades to enhance SHII realism:
- Turn rates for Destroyer Escorts have been modified so that the Flower
class DE's not longer outturn the u-boats. Although the Type IX and Type XXI
boats now turn a little faster than the smaller DE's, the turn rates are
very similar. All Type VII and Type IX boats equipped with snorkel will not
have a deck gun any more. This was common practice from 1943 till the end of
the war. Only few commanders were allowed to keep the deck gun. On occasion
the removal of the gun resulted in better streamlining properties making the
boats a little faster. Therefore all boats with snorkel can go up 0.6kn
faster than their counterparts with deck gun. Also the endurance of the
E-motors has been slightly elevated. [The deck gun will still be visible in
external view but you will not be able to access it.]

Convoy Mod
2.0 -
This project focuses on the convoy missions that can be created in the single
mission section. So far even the "large" convoys have been pretty small, and
very heavily escorted. In addition they all use about the same two types of
ships. So we created two special ship sets, one for fast and one for slow
convoys, that feature all major types of cargo ships. Then we adjusted the
convoy size for medium and large convoys, and reduced the convoy escorts early
in the war. In addition I added an escort carrier to the late war large convoy
scenario that may even feature aircraft in future releases. Beware of
clear skies. The escorts still have a pretty good eye-sight. This version only
adapts the add on units of version 1.0 to make them identical to the ones in
the Silent Hunter patch. Due to
Ultimation's SH2 v1.1 patch the convoy ships now behave a little better. Some
still break formation when attacked, but return faster to their formation, and
don't collide that much anymore. By Woof for Subsim.com.

New Version.
Allows you to save the game multiple times and reload from the saved game.
"When you're dead in a campaign mission, you have to play the whole
mission again (like SuperMarioBros) . SilentTool solves this problem. When
you want to save a game, so press the ESC-key twice and you get to the
office room. Then press SHIFT-F1 to save the game. Click on the book
(on the table) and continue playing your mission. You can repeat this as
many times as you want. If you're killed or your u-boat is damaged, you
can restore one of the savegames. Download this file and install it into
your SH2 folder. By Rudi.

Silent Hunter 2 Ship Identification Mod - by Alan Jenkins for
Subsim.com. This modifcation stops the AI crew members completely
identifying other vessels. The effect of applying this mod is to modify
the 'Visual Sighting' message and the unit markers on the Chart display.
Instead of displaying the Nationality and Class of a vessel in these
locations, the text will now show Nationality as 'Un' (for unknown) and
class as 'Vessel' regardless of the actual parameters. For aircraft, again
the nationality will show 'Un' while the class will be displayed as 'Air'.
In effect this will mean it is necessary for the player to identify other
vessels and aircraft manually.

Mission Generator Convoy Mod 1.0 - Focuses on the convoy missions
that can be created in the single mission generator section of Silent
Hunter II. So far even the "large" convoys have been pretty small and very
heavily escorted. In addition they all use about the same two types of
ships. So I created two special ship sets, one for fast and one for slow
convoys, that feature all major types of cargo ships. Then I adjusted the
convoy size for medium and large convoys, and reduced the convoy escorts
early in the war. By Andreas Feilner (Woof1701) for Subsim.com.
German Text correction kit -
Fixed the translation errors in the German version for SH2. If a depth
charge hits you it says usually "... von Wasserbomben versenkt" which
means "sunk by depth charges" and it should mean "... von Wasserbomben
beschädigt", "damaged by depth charges". Several other things have
been fixed, too, the speed dial texts for example and some spelling
errors.
Rain Effect - by UA. Simply go to SIM\SCENARIOS, open
WEATHER.ini and look at [FRONT8] to [FRONT10]. There is a point called
PRECIPITATION, which is actually removed by a ;. Remove the ; and you will
see rain if you choose STORM in the mission-generator (for example).

Ship is Breaking up, German file
In the German translation of the crew comments in Silent Hunter II (USversion) is an contextual error: The English file FIRST048.WAV ("Ship is sinking, it's breaking off") should be translated as "Das Schiff geht unter, es bricht auseinander".Ultimation's actual translation is: "Wir gehen unter, wir brechenauseinander!" It means: "We are sinking, we're breaking off". Very confusing for german gamers. Target destroyed and our submarine is sinking? So I edited some existing WAV files and got a new (and more or less correctly translated) german FIRST048.WAV now: "Ziel geht unter!" (It means: "Target is sinking").

Destroyer Command
Destroyer Command v1.1 Patch - upgrades DC to allow multiplay with SH2
DC Sound Mod - This pack adds whistles and sirens to the General Quarters command, shells falling,
gunfire, and other sound effects.
Admiral Brett's DC Sound
mod - new general quarters for
destroyer command AND a secure from general quarters. It includes a much
better crackling voice sounding like it's coming over the ship's squawk
announcing general quarters and a better klaxon. And securing from general
quarters gives you the whistle.
ABDA
command DC Mission Pack - Early in
1942 Allied commanders decided to form a unified command structure for
combining allied resistance efforts in the south west pacific. The command
was called ABDA (for American-British-Dutch-Australian). The short life of
ABDA ended when Dutch general Helferich had to surrender to Japan after the
invasion of Java. In the meantime, however, several surface engagements
under ABDA command took place with the 'Battle of Java Sea' as the most
prominent one. All in all, it can be said, that the ABDA campaign was a
disaster. The Allies lost nearly their complete fleet in the south west
pacific without being able to inflict any substantial damage to the
Japanese. The greatest loss to the Japanese occured when a Japanese cruiser
fired a spread of torpedos against the Houston, which all missed but sank 4
Japanese transports instead. There are many reasons for the failure: Poor
communication between the different ABDA nationalities, poor communication
between ABDAfloat and ABDAir, Japanese air supermacy, the superior Japanese
weapon technology at this time and the poor morale of the ABDA troups which
knew that they were in a hopeless position. By Timm Baumeister

SUB COMMAND
Patch 1.08
(English) DOWNLOAD This setup will update any previous version of Sub Command to 1.08) Installation: Double-click(Run) the self-extracting patch executable. Verify and correct the extract path if it is not correct. Click the Unzip button.
Modifications for Build 1.08
Broadband: Fixed crash if a
tracker was assigned to the Hull array in Narrowband and then the user
switched to Broadband on subs without Hull array (ssn21, 688i).
- Sound: Cleaned up various sound card related issues
- Sound: Fixed the platform sound distortion that occurred when
panning around a hooked platform in the 3D window.
- Sound: The Options/Sound screen now displays an error message if Sub
Command detects the absence of hardware 3D sound support in the sound card.
One of two messages may display if there is a problem with the
hardware 3D sound support
1) "Attempt to detect 3D Hardware Sound Buffers failed."
2) "Attempt to support 3D Sound in hardware failed."
If either message appears, the problem may be the sound card does
not have support for hardware-only 3D sound.
If the sound card does have hardware 3D sound support, then verify
that the sound card drivers are up to date.
Sub Command will default to software-only 3D sound in either case
and overall game performance may degrade as a result.
- Fire Control: Fixed UUV not correctly using OS Depth preset
- Fire Control: Fixed Narrow/Wide preset issue
- TMA: Tracking multiple TMA contacts can be accomplished by pressing
the "Enter Solution" button before selecting another track from the contact
list box. If you leave the TMA screen, current tracking data for the
displayed contact will be available when the TMA screen is revisited.
- TMA: Fixed crash that involved this screen and usually TMA autocrew
being ON.
- Mission Editor: Wrong entities were being given the Sonobouy tactic
(Bear J vs. Bear F bug)
- Game: Fixed crash that pertains to missions containing aircraft with set
launch times.
- Game: Towed array now deploys correctly at start of mission based on
scenario file
- Game: Show Linked 3D land objects melting into landscape bug fixed
- Game: Added a keyboard shortcut to center the Rudder. The default
key is: <'> (single quote character).
It can be reassigned in the Options screen.
- Database: increased max depth of 65 cm torpedo to 1000 ft
- AI: Firing missiles now provokes better response from AI units
- AI: Torpedo evasion for AI platforms is improved

Sub Command Custom Mission Guide for Multiplay Scenarios
When you join up for a multiplayer game, you don't want to start with the knowledge of events clearly outlined for you. You don't want to begin a battle knowing George is north of you and Al is west, the noisy contact is a trawler, and the Russian DDG will come along in ten minutes. You want to begin with all the uncertainties of real life preserved in your head. Sonalysts did a great job engineering a marvelous Mission Editor and program procedures for Sub Command. With random start boxes, password-protected mission locks, varying degrees of probability of inclusion, and a myriad of units and environment conditions, you can script missions that never play the same way twice with relative ease. The following guidelines will enhance the random elements and fog of war in Sub Command multiplay missions. They will also assist in ease of mission creation. The basic concept advocated here is to create a basic mission, then clone it several times, changing a few things in each version. They will have identical titles and briefings and binary file names, so most players will not readily recognize the mission before it starts. Indeed, if done according to this guideline, there is a very low recognition factor involved other than the general area of operations.

V1.2 Jane's Fleet Command Patch
Win2000 Installer Patch(English) README This version of the Windows NT Install Patch is designed to be used with the Classic version (version 1.2) of Jane's Fleet Command ONLY. It will NOT work properly with the original retail version of Fleet Command (version 1.0).
Much of the AI is determined by the language coding in the "DOCTRINES" files in the Fleet Command folder. Many slick players have begun experimenting with the doctrines files to make planes engage enemy ships after identifying, prod own ships to fire against incoming SAMs in self-defense, and other improvements to make the game much more playable. By Ron Hunt.
DOWNLOAD the Fleet Command Custom Doctrine Files (4 KB)
If you want to try your hand at tweaking the Doctrines files yourself, you will want to read the Doctrine Specs text file. It spells out how the doctrines work, priorities, expressions, syntax specs--everything you need to know to be a Fleet Command Master Hack! By Mike Kolar (Sonalysts).

Fighting Steel in the North Atlantic
Fighting Steel in the North Atlantic (FSNA) is a strategic campaign for Fighting Steel.
Similar to the campaign mode of GNBNA, it will allow to control task forces in the North Atlantic to either attack allied convoys or to prevent the German task forces to do so.
It is a separate program that will generate a scenario file for Fighting Steel when two task forces engage for a battle and launch Fighting Steel to play the battle.
When the battle has ended and Fighting Steel has been left, FSNA will continue the campaign.

GREAT NAVAL BATTLES Patches/upgrades for the popular GNB sets.
- GNB I
- GNB II Patch
- GNB IV Patch
GREAT NAVAL BATTLES 4 Custom Mission - Operation Reinubung - Hunt for the Bismarck.
By May 1941, the Kriegsmarine was nearly starving Britain. But yet, Raeder
was right. He had already lost the Panzerschiffe Graf Spee, the cruisers
Blucher, Konigsburg, and Karlshrue, several destroyers, and his only two
Battlecruisers were pinned in at Brest. Thus left only The Hipper, Prinz
Eugen, Lutzow, Scheer, Nuremburg, Koln, Emden, and Leipzig as the heavy
ships, Excluding the turn-of-the-century predreadnoughts Schleiswig Holstein
and Schleisen. But on May 20, the brand new Battleship Bismark set sail for
the Atlantic. The British had no choice but to...Sink the Bismarck!
- Die Andere Z Plan Alternative
By 1935 the German Navy, had worked out a Plan to build a huge Fleet of Battle
ships, Aircraft Carriers, Cruisers and Destroyers. This Plan was Top Secret
and where called the Z Plan. The Z Plan should to be completed until 1948, but
by 1939 the German Army attacked Poland............ the rest is history.

END ALL BACKGROUND PROGRAMS
EndAll lets you terminate all non-essential programs for the purpose of installing new software, running finicky games, or writing to CD-Rs that need a big buffer. The essential system programs Explorer and Systray cannot be terminated. EndAll's main window presents a list of running processes. You can protect any process in the list from termination. You can shut down all unessential programs with a single click. Much faster and surer that the CRT-ALT-DEL method. Allows your game to run without interference from background programs. EndAll was written by Neil J. Rubenking.
