New member saying hello
 

Hello all,

I'm basically new to sub sims. I played SH 1 for many, many, many hours when it first came out. Then I was AWOL from all sims for a long time (no computer that could handle sims). I'm a long time flight simmer (and RL pilot), dabbled in racing sims for a while, do a lot of train simming, and have recently gotten pretty involved in ARMA II. I like hard core simulations and realism is a top priority for me.

I just recently learned the the DRM for SH 5 has been removed. Ordered a copy from Amazon today! I downloaded SH 3 from Steam since it's on the summer sale. I plan to install the GWX mod for it. I'll probably get SH 4 and the U-Boat expansion from Steam during the sale. I'm waiting to see if it drops further.

So, I've lurked this forum and site for quite a while, watched videos, read about the various mods. I thought I'd join up and start participating, and look forward to many enjoyable hours catching up with all the advances and developments for this incredible sim.

Welcome to SUBSIM Griphos. :salute:

Wel-come aboard Kaleun ...:woot:

Hi Griphos, welcome aboard, you'll like SH3 with GWX!:up:

A very warm welcome Griphos :salute::salute::salute:

Welcome :sunny:

Thanks to all. This is a very helpful place. Some of the threads on how to put together a well-modded game for SH5 have been particularly helpful.

Hmmmm....okay, I'm experiencing some downloading strangeness. After joining and posting, I downloaded some mods, but then I started getting a message saying to slow down and wait 29 seconds. I figured I'd hit a daily limit.

Then, I was away for a few days, and today I tried to download a few more mods. But immediately I get the same message. Is there something I should do to reset something?

Trying putting up a post or two then waiting about an hour for the server to sort itself out, that sometimes works.

Well, I posted twice in this thread already, before this recent one, and have posted a question over on the SHIII sub-forum earlier this morning. Should I try to do a couple of more posts?

You can only give it a try I suppose.

A few more details here:

Yeah, it's not a "You've exceeded your daily download limit" message. It's a "Slow down, you're trying to download too fast, you have to wait 29 seconds" message. But it always says 29 or 28 seconds, no matter low long I wait. It's pretty strange, but I've figured out a way around that message and just downloaded 4 more mods, so I'm good for now, I think. I've been following the suggestions in Trevally's thread:

Getting ready for when the dvd arrives. :-)

Thanks for the help, though.
