Cheers Floater and guys many thanks for the praise !!
i've set the hardware exceleration for the sound to basic and ran a few missions and so far it has been ok...only other issue i stumbled across was after clicking on the stern tube in the crew management screen for the IIB the task bar vanished lol...so i had the game full screen with no icon bar etc along the bottom..looked much better but not very practicle...i reloaded the save and it solved it ...other than that things are going ok (im sure they'll be more trouble ahead but with every-ones help i hope it will all get sorted out bit by bit) only mod i've added so far is to reduce the volume of the diesel engines (after an hour the row gets on my nerves and i prefer to listen to the waves ! )
on my fourth mission and still haven't sunk anything (lol--
)
had a huge chase and cat and mouse game with a lone merchant which after an hour or two and a belly full of torps- only one hit- which turned out to be a good thing as it turned out to be neutral lol many apologies all round...
going to sit with the unpatched game for a while longer and do some more reading round the forum for info ..
Floater!! have you gotten up-graded for SH3 are you able to run the game now? have you had a look at the in game editor and got any plans at all?
you skills are worth a tanker of renown !!!
the crew management sytem is very intrigue-ing it is kind of annoying yet at the same time it is great...bity like UBi have taken a hand full of "baldurs gate" and sprinkled it into a subsim lol...really broadens the gameplay ..even if it is a bit frustrating to use..(well at the start of a career anyway before the crew get "hardened up")
cheers again for all the advice guys all read and noted manythanks!...
