I also noticed the active people have dropped from 100 to 50 and it has been for some day or even more. But i think Heck yea they'll come back when they know the release for christmas........ right private:up: ?

Well, I spent the summer away from SH3 and Subsim with a game server project I was helping my nephews set up and learn.

Now that school is back in session and things have settled down, I'm back.

Not that it necessarily counts for much. :roll:

Nice barb!;)

Guess he has to team up with "Joe the Plumber"!

I'm afraid that poor old SH3, all togather with GWX, is losing the race with time-wheel...

Despite it's gameplay... visuals are far away from Oct 2008 standards...

Thanks God that OLC gave some visual-life to this great sim.

Just hope that Privateer and wolves understand that only visual improvement could "save the patient"...

Everything else in GWX3 would be surplus effort for 2009... gameplay is already fine, for the last two years...

Can't beleive that SDK for SH3 is secret...:rotfl:

...or SH5 is closer than we think ?
:know:

Considering the number of people playing GWX and taking into account the fact that some peoples computer specs don't afford them the ability to play SH4, I envisage many people playing GWX3 well into 2009 and beyond.

With regard to the SDK:

Even if it were released tomorrow, it would be of little use now, apart from allowing one or two tweaks to be made to obstacles that have never been overcome thus far.

Too much work (from a GWX perspective) has been undertaken to the SH3 game engine and would need to be undone first before any remedial work could be performed.

The game engine in SH4 should hopefully give a lot more scope for modding purposes

Big Drop
 

During the Grand Sumsim Meeting someone wrote there was a drop in attendance on this forum.

Someone else mentioned that this was due to people being in Houston.

Now, the Houston survivors are back. but forum numbers are nearly half of what they used to be even in the early days of SH-4 and the grand exodus to the Pacific.

Maybe we need to dig and revive the Who is keeping the honor of the U-boats thread.

What is going on?

<<<<< Lazy lately. :shifty:

oh... and starting up my business.

so my decline in posts is justified and explained.


now how about the rest of you slackers?

Well this slacker got transferred to a job away from home where he actually has to work :cry: Quite a shock to the system I can tell ya. And to add injury to insult I'm on the night shift roster as well. Haven't seen daylight for months now!
Mind you when I logged in tonight and saw this thread it prompted me to look at my last post. It was back in March!! I didn't realise it was so long since I was here.

I will do better :D

Staying at house studying-sleeping-homeworks-and exams.
Everything which qualifies for a no-life!:p

Should we make u-boot battle and competition over multplayer and stuff like that? Maybe people are more interested to play and get to subsim and post message and comes talkative? But im not sure that will works....... sh3 online is not very popular. :nope:
Maybe the graet hope of GWX Gold will resurrect this forum?

Recently been back, because of some RL issues....;)

Hell ya! Bring it on!
GWX 3.0! :arrgh!::rock:GWX. 3.0! :arrgh!::rock:

As I have explained recently, I was away over the summer because my computer and time was tied up with helping my nephews learning about how to compile, configure, modify, and admin a server for a game they love to play.
:lurk:

It was probably the last go at having such fun with them as the usual distractions and diseases of being a teenager have begun to set in and I go from being the "cool" uncle to just the "crazy old" uncle. :roll:

I plan on playing SH3 until the wheels fall off, so to speak. After all, it's a long way to go until 1945 and I'd like to try a career with at least one variant of each u-boat type as my primary boat, after I complete my main career that moves forward with improvements in u-boat technology. Then there's the monsun boats, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Indian Ocean, and long-haul Type IX missions to the Americas and Carribean.

And that's just with GWX! I still have NYGM, WAC, Frontflotille, and AOTD to explore, not to mention trying out online multiplayer missions. :yep:

I'd like to see an online flotilla for us old sea dogs to have as a gathering place.

I also should mention that I've noticed an influx of new recruits in the past week or two. It's easy to spot some because they're asking about using old mods that are still linked in the Subsim website. There's even been one or two familiar names that have made their presence known recently.

It wouldn't surprise me if I were the one to turn out the lights as I'm the last out the door. Until then, Brag, let's break out the bottle and toast our victories, escapes, and absent friends in service to our beloved virtual Ubootwaffe! :()1:

I'm back now but my heart has never left the North Atlantic and probably never will. :arrgh!:

Archery Season
Turkey Season
Deer Season
Football Season
Not to mention work, broken toe, getting ready for winter.

I'll drink to that. PROSIT, Kaleuns!:()1: :()1: :()1: :()1:

Maybe people are busy with their patrols and don't have the time to write. I'm sure we'll have a flood of patrol reports soon. :D

Now that I've mentioned it, gotta go and sink some ships...

Aaaah, I havent been slacking...:rotfl:

"... monsun boats, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Indian Ocean, and long-haul Type IX missions to the Americas and Carribean. And that's just with GWX! I still have NYGM, WAC, Frontflotille, and AOTD ..."

Okay, so i am new HERE ... but I have a LOT of xp with Ubisoft simulators (mostly flight), but I was a long time SHII and AotD player. In fact AotD got me to play AotP and AoE so it now comes full circle .... sub sims to flight sims and back to sub sims.

Is there a thread that discusses the relative merits and contents of the various Uber-mods that you listed ... or the added patrols that are listed ? Sort of a clearing house for them ... yes i have seen the thread with all the mods listed ... but that is more of a warehouse for mods ... I am looking for a storefront with a little advertising, a screen shot, and a short description of what makes WAC different from GWX and or NYGM ... ? :hmm:

The SH4 boards aren't that busy either. Those of you who are fairly new only know what it's like when something big has been released. The way it is now is fairly normal for in-between-the-next-big-thing times.

Very well said, mate...
Do you mind if i join at your table, Kaleus? :|\\

It is always a pleasure to have drink with a few good men of the U-boatwaffe

Not everyone posts things when they visit, of course.

Considering me as an example, I've been a member here for longer than just about any regularly posting skipper (even earlier than Sailor Steve!! :o ), yet compare my post count with a lot of others......
