It's very reassuring to get a reply, I've been too long on flight sim sites, to hear the sound of a human voice has chilled me right out!
I remember the names and the help you guy's gave to us all.
Let me take this time to thank you for all you do.

I can not speak for the others but I do what I do for myself first.
It's my obsession to mess with the files and see how far I can push things.

@Sailor Steve

Just something to consider... I, for 1, use a computer running Win 10 & this is what I did to set up SH3 to it:

When I went to install SH3, I avoided C:/Program Files & C:/Program Files (X86) completely & set up a folder as follows:

C:/Games/SH3/(whatever mod I decided to use here, for me, I used /LSH3-2015, since I went with it...)

Hope this helps you out...

Well that's pretty messed up. I've been treated fairly in the Wings Over Flanders Fields forums. Except for two or three from my Red Baron 3D days, they don't know me from Adam over there. They are at least polite though. Other than there, I don't have any experience with other sim sites, but some have seemed so massive and full of children, that I didn't even try.

I have a separate SSD set up just for my games. I don't go anywhere near the C drive at all.

I use JSGME for everything.

Used Ichso's old advice to remove the big compass from GWX. It will be replaced by FLB Sales' original (sort of).

No problem.

Hi Steve,

Not sure if you remember me from the old SH2 days, I see you use FSX, I too went on flight sim, got in to AI and doing repaints.
I'll be honest I'm a rubbish pilot, I should practice more lol, I un-installed my FSX and went back to FS2004 and installed some better scenery and I'm happy with it.

As for Windows 10, I was on Windows 7 and had no problems running sims then I upgraded to 10, I could have rolled back but I missed the roll back date so was stuck with 10.
Cut the story short I formatted my hard drive and re-installed Windows 7 again and all is back to normal.

I left SH for a long time but recently got back in to it, I have all the versions on disk and installed SH3, SH4 and SH5. I can't get SH5 to run it is asking for updates but the Ubisoft server is down so no big deal yet I still have 3 and 4 to play with.

I tried Train sim and I liked it but my problem was slowing down in time for stations and lights, I used to overshoot or slow down too soon then have to start again and often got it wrong.
I looked to buy one of those controllers but they are too expensive, I thought by now some company would have come up with more alternatives, I tried using my FS joystick but couldn't get it to marry up.

Anyway sorry for the long post but it is always good to chat to one of my old friends.

Hey Colin, yes I remember you! I also remember when one member started calling you "Colonel" because of your user name.


That's funny. I have a copy of FS2004 (or FS 9 as some call it), but I figured I had to have FSX (or FS 10 as it is properly known). I'm doing fine with FSX and Steam, so no complaints. I've also been trying out Prepar3d v3. Just experimenting so far.

I've been quite happy with the recent updates to Windows 10. I used to think of going back but I have no such desire these days.

I've never been a train guy, but I'm really getting a kick out of Train Sim. I especially like the Old West trains by Smokebox and the equivalent 1880s Caledonian locos. Lots of fun, for me anyway.

Hi again Steve,

I forgot to mention I also have XPlane11 as well, that is good, especially the models, they are very detailed, the default scenery is OK too, I did get some local scenery that was fairly real.
Problem I had with it was, I got used to tweaking FS and XPlanes is a lot different, I couldn't get my head round doing any tweaks lol.

Anyway back to SH, I just did a long mission on SH4, sank a good few but I couldn't surface, I think the whole of the Japanese air force was up there.
I eventually crept away and made it back to Midway.

I remember the guy calling me Colonel too, I got that on the flight sim forum as well lol.

Col.
