Hello all. This is only the second web thread I have ever joined, mostly for the reasons mentioned in the rules about hate and maturity, the other being Orbiter space flight simulator. I have been lurking for a while and must admit I am impressed, so here I am.

My thanks go out to all those who have posted patches and fixes for my sub games :) Google is always my first go to to solve :"why doesn't x do y?"

In real life I am an airline captain, and love playing good sims on the road, not much of a fan of shooters, but love adventures and sims, long drawn out things involving planning, setup, and execution, so I guess this stuff works for me, I have also been an add-on maker for orbiter. It probably also helps that my father was US navy during Vietnam on the Long Beach at Yankee station.

Currently play Silent Hunter III and IV a lot, also enjoy Sub Command and Jane's 688I.

I still play Command AOD and Silent Hunter I as well as Fast Attack and Ticonderoga because I can make them work in my emulators on my IPAD air 2. Yep, you heard that right :) Always good for those long commute flights.

Thanks all, and I look forward to learning more.

Welcome Aboard! :sunny:

My father was a pilot with United for thirty-six years, though I didn't follow that path myself. On the other hand, like your dad I was in the navy in Vietnam.

Take a look around the boards. We have a forum for just about every class of naval game, plus some others besides. Also feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Welcome to Subsim. We try to maintain good decorum, even though there are times we get a little irritated or argumentative. For the most part, the members do a fantastic job of setting the right tone and self-enforcing it.

Every time I fly I fully recognize the skill and devotion it takes to be a pilot. We thank you for the good landings! :Kaleun_Salute:
