Hi, I'm a SH5 newbie from the Sonoran desert of Tucson, AZ. I've been doing ‘train simulations’ since I am a disabled former Locomotive Engineer with the Southern Pacific Railroad and Amtrak, the American passenger railroad. I enjoy historic computer simulations and think Silent Hunter 4 and 5 are fantastic though I don't' know how to use them - yet. I hope I can learn lots tips to using them from you guys here at the Subsim forum. Besides sims with the PC, I work part time as an astronomy teacher at the National Observatories west of Tucson, AZ. Thanks for all the info posted which will help me get going with the subs of Silent Hunters.

This is the best site for train sims by far .

Hi there. First post here. Born in Argentina, living in sunny Miami Beach FL. I used to play occasionally Silent Hunter III and Silent Hunter IV, mostly at around 85% realism (in case anyone cares).

I'm an old rusty gamer whose first naval sim was Strike Fleet for the Commodore 64/128. I think my first sub sim was Hunt for Red October or Red Storm Rising... Oh, the good old times.

I just got Silent Hunter V when I saw the price tag finally dropped to 18 bucks plus taxes at Best Buy and after reading about the awesome work the modders did to make it enjoyable. They deserve all the credit for SH5. Whoever designed SH5 deserves credit too. Whoever executed on the design, was most likely pushed too hard by the suits at Ubisoft to release it on schedule despite the unfinished state. In the end, we got an expensive Alpha version on the market with a DRM a little too strict for most people's taste. It ended up being neither a sim nor a game: just an unfinished piece of software. At least it's moddable and there's people with enough time and interest in their hands to patch it up and enhance it (thank you, guys).

So here I am, probably to start posting newbie questions soon.

Cheers.

I'm Steve From Boston, U.S.A.....I'm a gamer...been playing sims since I got my 1st pc back in 1986...fooled around with SH3 and SH4 a lil bit...but I just discovered SH5 and it's got potential...great graphics, but poor effects, and the UI is horrible...thank Posiden for all you fine modders...you made this game worth playing

Welcome Aboard both two!

Hello, my name is Bob. Love the game, looking for better ways to play.

Welcome to SubSim Bob.

Howdy from Houston!!!

So glad I found these boards! I'm Gary from Houston, TX. I'm 54 and have been playing the SH series since the days of SH to SH5. I really enjoy SH5. The thing I miss most is using the external view to focus on my boat (instead of having it just running off into the horizon) so I can take screenshots.

All in all, I think it's a great game.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of ya. Peace!

Gary

Hiya jimbuna...oh yes, Houston is HUGE. It's the largest city in Texas and the 4th largest city in the country. Just a little Houstonian pride trivia. LOL.
