Where to Start
 

Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the newbe questions, but here it goes. I want to get back into sub simulations among other platforms and can't find where to buy them to get started.
I'm a retired AW1 S3 Viking operator and would like to get several titles

Dangerous Waters with free cuban missile crisis
Fleet Command
Naval Combat Pack
Jane's Naval Warfare Collection


I've submitted a question to the webmaster that the Subsim store has an error and wont display anything.

In the meantime can you tell me if I'll have any problem using Windows 7 or should I prepare to dual boot to Windows XP? I can catch all of the patches once I get going, but if I can get some advice from some of the ole salts I would appreciate it.


Happy Hunting,

Dewey

What's the Difference
 

Another thought as I delve into the depths again. In searches for some of the older simulations I've heard the ones that are easier to find are of a european version. Obviously since I live in California I want an english version, but where to find these older sims?
What is wrong with a european version?

The European versions of dangerous waters might have some (reconcilable) issues with language conversions, as well as some popular mods out right now.

I can attest to the fact that Dangerous Waters runs fine on Windows 7 (64 bit here), and I distinctly remember getting fleet command to work on Windows Vista a long while back, but there were some issues with the in game video or something like that.

Your best bet at finding these titles is to look online. In fact, I think the Subsim store has some of those titles:

Just scroll down a bit past the Silent Hunter stuff.
