Everyone here has been so helpful. It seems to be a great community. I did read some of Wazoo's Manual Targeting Tutorial last night. Oh my...that's lots of stuff. I think for the moment I'll use the "Notebook" manual targeting with "Fixed Wire" thrown in at times to practice before I move onto the more complicated stuff.

I'm really interested in learning the plotting and all that comes with it. But with work, and family(we've got 3 girls) and all that it entails I don't have tons of time. I'm thinking first learn the basics using the notebook and some fixed wire so I can get out there and have fun learning the strategy and how to FIND targets. Then once proficient I'll add all the neat plotting tools. I dunno. We'll see.

Thanx so much to everyone for being so helpful. I think I can see why subsims can be so addictive.

I wish now that I'd bought the bundle pack with SHIV as well. I didn't because my system is only:

Athlon 64 3700 @ 2.4ghz
1.5mb RAM
GeForce 6800 GS

So I didn't think it would work well with SHIV. Although it is interesting to me as the Pacific Theatre sounds neat. I'm also not sure about the U-Boat stuff being with Nazi-Germany. Hmmmmm....I try not to think about it too much.

Dangerous Waters also sounds interesting at some point for a different experience. I might want to get them while my lovely wife is letting me spend the money.
