the grey wolves mod seems to be very popular, i just use the sh3 world mod loads of ships for the sinking there of :)

Well, your pc is a monster, no problem there. Download grey wolves, it looks really good. And also get the relolution fix, so you kan go for ... say 1600x1200 with lots of eyecandy.

There is probably some way to get antialiasing too, but I dont know how.

Your computer blew up?How did that happen?
Anyway...on topic now...you can't really have both realism and graphix at the max in one mod ,you will have to choose between them.There are 2 very popular mods currently on subsim :NYGM TW and GW.They both offer interesting improvements and more features then the stock game,but they are quite different.NYGM focuses more on realism and gameplay,whereas GW focuses more on the effects part.But as i said in another thread,you should try them both and see which one you like best .

I really like parts of both the major mods and the Longer U-Boat repair time mod.

Then there are parts of all of these that I don't much care for.

So I am building my own personal mod out of spare parts of all the mods from back to day 1 to present and so far I am thoroughly enjoying the sim more than ever. Not to mention learning a whole lot about how the various file work together.

In short you can make this sim into pretty much whatever suits your fancy.

TUT TUT GW is sooooo much more than just eye candy
Realism is in the eye of the beholder and down to everyones own interpretation but GW ups the realism from the stock in a big way as well as adding better gameplay not forgetting all the eye candy improvements too

Thanks guys for all your ideas, as they seem to all point one way that is the way i've gone. GW with SH3 Commander, I tried the resolution patch but after that Sh3 wouldnt boot up so had to leave it out. Just completed my first patrol Only One damn Cargo which took up 3 out of my 4 torps never mind guess i'll get better with time. As to how i blew up my other machine, A very hot room, Overclocked Cards failing cooling system and a spilt pint of beer, makes things go bang quite well :) I wont be doing that again in a hurry.:oops:

Thanks for the advice and if anyone else has any other ideas dont be a stranger.

Spilling the pint had to have been the worst thing of all. Thats considered "Alcohol Abuse" and might be illegal in some countries:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
