I am new to Silent Hunter 4 and love the game. I also am very appreciative of all the modifications and additions made by members of SUBSIM. I have installed 1.5 and added the nomograph and other mods to the game. They are great. However, I found that the speed nomograph was a little to big for my liking, so I modified it to suit me. The nomograph is located at: c:\...\silent hunter\data\menu\menu_1024_768. Here are the tweaks that I used to make the nomograph a little smaller: POS=0,0,200,720. Zone=0 768 150 540 2 1 0x31000000 0.8 -0.09 0x3100000f 0 0 0 0.
While I was at it, I changed the picture on the Captain's Desk to someone I know. It's location is C:\...\silent hunter\data\CaptainPicture. Replace "picture" with one of your choice. Its format must be TARGA (TGA).
I also included "Victory At Sea" music rather than what was included in the intro. It is located at c:\...\Silent Hunter\data\sound\music. Replace "Original_Menu_Master LOOP" with your music by the same name. An mp3 must be converted to OGG format before it can be used. I found a converter (Free) at www.audio-converter.com (http://www.audio-converter.com). I found the theme for Victory At Sea at http://victoryatseaonline.com/victory_music.html. Thanks for the information and I hope it all only gets better. Old_tex :D

Thanks for the Victory at Sea info! One of my favorites! Used to spend saturday afternoon in a cold Detroit winter watching it from 2 to 3, on the old UHF channels. RCA b&w tv too!

Just replace your default files of the same name in your Silent Hunter\Data\Movies\Intro Folder.

Check out this thread for MANY desktop pictures for use in the US Fleet Boat Office:

and this thread for swapping such pictures; there are separate Applications for US Fleet Office and Kriegsmarine Office...."Girl in Every Port" and "Fraulein im Jedem Hafen":

(Note that in the Kriegsmarine office the *.TGA picture files are sized differently, but the process od substitution is the same)

Here are some German pics, mostly Marlene Dietrich but also other German actresses of the 1930's and 1940's time period, which I use with FIJH Application:
