Made some SHCE videos for YouTube
 

I've been playing SHCE on Win 10 using Dfend Reloaded for several years now- works great. :)
Also using the SHReal mod. I play having my crew helping set the TDC, and with the navigation tools built in to the game, so maybe I'm cheating a bit. I also don't play at 125% realism, but I have lost 50% of my career subs so far, oops. Here are a few quickly edited encounters from the last few months:

Cool beans, JconradH! It's good to see vid of an old favorite. :salute:

Thanks, propbeanie!

Now there are a few more videos now, including one where I got 10 torpedoes into the Yamato, and almost scraped my sub's paint on her hull- it's in the video, but it didn't sink. After 6 hours of evading, then destroying DD escorts, I watched the Yamato roll off the North end of the map, even though I had finally gotten within 11000 yards with 7 more torpedoes to share. Sooo close! :wah:

SS-230 Finback 30 September 1943 Tsgaru Straight Transit & Small Convoy Sweep
 

The SS-230 Finback Sent to patrol Northern Japan with its upgraded PPI radar. We transit the well-patrolled & dangerous Tsugaru Strait on a very long, tense, and moonless night. After exiting the straight, just as we enter the Sea of Japan, we have a radar contact, and intercept a small convoy. While still in total darkness, the crew and I sneak up on the small convoy from behind, evading the 2 destroyer escorts long enough to damage the 2 larger ships before sinking the escorts. We surface and destroy the rest of convoy. This is a LONG video:

Very cool, thanks for making these.

Oh yes, Silent Hunter 1, those were the days. I think I still have the installation CD somewhere in the closet or near my desktop.

Nice man! I may have to boot up dosbox and give this a wirl again. There was always something about the atmosphere of this game that I liked.

Welcome back!
 

How did you get SHReal mod to on your computer? I am using Win 11 and the silent hunter works under the dosbox but when I try and run SHREAL I get the message This App can't run on your PC. Any help would be great appreciated.

I made a DOSBOX simple DOS command prompt and after starting it (after I moved SHREAL into the SH virtual directory) I typed "shreal". It's worked every time for me.

I hope this helps!

I will try and figure that out tonight and see what happens, thanks.

Jeffg

It was a no go on tgetting the dosbox to work with the SHReal.exe.I guess I need a leeson in DOS. Thanks anyway.

JeffG

1) do you know where dosbox keeps the virtual folder for Silent Hunter?
2) Copy the shreal.exe file in the root folder.
3) when you run dosbox do you type in sh.exe to start the game?
4) If you do, start up DosBox BUT DONT TYPE SH. Just type SHREAL and follow the instructions.
5) Try De-Fend Reloaded, it's easier. I'll make a video and post it here later...
