Rookie hunter
 

Hi all,

I am a 56 years old Dutchy. After 15 years flying MS FS (P3C Orion) and for now Falcon 4 Allied Force (F16) I installed this great subsimulator. And searching on the forum. My Q is: are there extended manuals available for this sim? (instead of the small manual included by the sim).

With regards,

ROMEO - ROMEO - ROMEO:roll:

Welcome aboard. I've never heard of any other manuals available for this sim.

Hi Borock. You might consider the collective knowledge of the subsim people as the best manual, in that normally you can get an answer here pretty quick, but in the meantime, if you want to read some US sub manual stuff, check these links out:

Enjoy - Chock :D

Can't answer your question, but welcome aboard! You're not alone in your age group; I just turned 57 myself.

Don't feel like your the only one, Borock. I turned 55 about a month ago. What type of manuals or information are you looking for specifically?

Welcome:up: Borock

Ask questions, search the threads.

Good Hunting:yep:

Welcome aboard! As far as the manual. It is what it is....a bunch of pages of not much. Welcome to the world of on the job training. Basically, if you do something that did not work....don't do it again;) . At any rate, as stated, there is a plethora of information on the game right here and always a helping hand. Fire away any question you have and a 10 page forum manual will miraculouly spring up for you:yep:

Welcome,

You have hit the probably most complete and accurate source for information available about Silent Hunter 4 (Not to mention all those other sims).

There are several "stickied" threads at the top of this fourm with a great deal of information and insight.

I would also point you to the modding forum. In particular the "sticky" there of available mods.

Browse a whil kick off those boots. There is a wealth of information and entertainment in these pages.

Check out this thread in particular. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=108931

Coming here was a good move. Ubi forums are lacking imo.

I seem to remember a player working on a manual based on a WWII ops publication.

Thanks for all the replies. So it's nice to hear that I am not the only "old" subhunter :yep:

Also many thanks for the links/url's. Flying (and learning all aspects) of a F-16 is sometimes a hell of a job. 80 cm width of manuals:o

But this subsimulator (I don not talk like it is a game !!) is also a challenge for the next years.

Installed the patch and all works. The problem in this sim is that I cannot correct the sensitivity of the mousecursor. To activate the right orders on the quick controls panels with the mousecursor is not an easy job. But I will try to solve thissmall problem:lol:

Once more: thanks for all the replies.

Hi Borock, Welcome. I turned 62 today. You have definately come to the right place. Here it is a case of ask and ye shall receive. It is the best subsim forum I have come across and I have been playing subsims since Jane's 688(i) came out.:up:

Welcome aboard, I'll be 52 in a couple of months, mature gamers enjoy subsims since everything moves slower.

I have noticed that the mouse movement is directly related to the FPS (frames per second). Basically 18+ FPS and the mouse works fluidly. The mouse cursor has been a issue for a lot of folks. Mine is to the point that it is pretty fluid in the screens that gave it trouble. Maybe reducing some of the graphics options might up your FPS thus releasing the cursor for free movement.

I wont add much since there isnt a specific question out there - but I will second the sentiment - Welcome Aboard!
