:nope:
Yes Mum.

These are the must have mods IMO .
MightyFine Crew Mod 1.2.1 Alt w beards (missing crew animations)
No magic skills v1.5 (gets rid of some rediculous skills)
No Damn Bubbles, No Damn Halo Mod (no more halos on clickable objects)
Terrain_harbour_flags (many missing harbours)
NewUIs_TDC_3_5_1_ByTheDarkWraith (The number one must have mod)
IRAI_0_0_11_ByTheDarkWraith (rewrite of the ships and planes AI , the number 2 must have mod )

Thank you again Sober, I shall look them up later tomorrow.

Privateer, brush your teeth first. Night night all :)

Good to hear from you She-Wolf :) SH5 is really shapeing up thx to the hard work of our talented Modders.:woot:

I hope you won't be so long between visits. 2 months. You better have had one heck of an adventure.

I hope all is right with you and yours.

She-Wolf asked what's new with the game. I may be wrong, but why bring SH3 into it at all? She didn't ask how they compared. What if I had replied "Nothing is new, some patches and some mods, but it still lacks anything besides graphics, and SH3 is still much better"? To my mind that's exactly what 'The Other Guy' did.

while true, i didnt see it to be a shot that needed to be responded to but then i dont know if he had some kind of a history or not when it comes to discussing sh3+GWX.

my first thought about it as well was you may have been a little quick to see a slight that may very well not have been intended there.

Well, you could be right, and if so I apologize. It wouldn't be the first time I was so far off base I was tagged out by the center fielder.

Sorry to have kept away so long Firewall. We built a more powerful machine earlier this year, from bits we had bought one-at-a-time the previous year, so it is not cutting edge, but being a x64 processor, I am able to exceed the memory limits of 32bit, so have spent much of the time trying out many of my old ( and rather unused) games on Windows Seven x64, to see if they will play on there - and you know how it is ( I hope), you come across an old favourite and want to play it all over again. It will probably completely ruin my image of a hard-bitten female kaleun (HA!) to confess that I have been spending large amounts of my time playing.... Settlers 2:oops:. There I have said it. Street cred blown....

Hi She-Wolf-
I'm not much of a poster but I have to add my two bits.
Shame on UBI to have left the SH5 ship dead in the water, but the mods have done an exceptional job with SH5 bringing her up to steam. there are still issues, but everyday miracles are performed on this once-dead hulk...much like transplant surgery!
Go to the Mods section and glean information about which mods to chose and how to install them in what order.
I was a disbeleiver for a loooong time.
One day, there will be a supermod....:rock:

thank you OldFrenchy, your faith in the game's continuing improvement thanks to the modders is a boost.

Started a new career today and did the tutorial run to Kiel. Got on much better this time than when the game first came out. I am still finding my way around of course, but am going to have another play, and then decide what mods to look for. Still feel more like an observer than the captain, and little things ( like knowing what the time is) would be pleasing to have - and maybe are already there somewhere. Also I kept making the mistake of using the directional keys to move me around, which moved the sub's orientation instead. Grr.

I would prefer more keyboard than mouse, but again, I probably need to read the manual afresh and remind myself what does what.
All in all it was a bit of fun today, but not 'immersion', so I have a way to go, but am encouraged.Oh, and I seem to be able to shin up the ladder more easily now - is that me getting better or a fix I wonder?

yep, its like your mother-in-law came in and rearranged all your bins while you were out so its all still there somewhere but to find it is like a puzzle :06:

sadly they designed sh5 to remove some of the immersion to appeal to casual gamers so i doubt it will ever have the same immersion feeling as sh3 but with time, maybe close to it

Gosh Webster, wot a lotta mods you have there. Do you have one to make the water nearer blue than the current black it is now - or is that down to my graphics card? I am going to ask a question on a new thread now else, but that lot looks impressive. :):yeah:

thanks, i didnt do anything much with grafics just a few little simple things here and there that for the most part will fix things without changing difficulty much if at all but its all for sh4

i never got into the environmental stuff much
