Greetings and

to all! I remember playing SH a long time ago. I think when I was operating win 98. So I got searching the other day for subsims and came across this website. (Which is awesome btw) I've ordered the combo SH 2 & 3 from here for win XP, and Fast Attack which is still DOS ugh.
So, I've been reading through some of the posts in the forums and don't find much about sh II. Which is the game I intend on starting (again) with.
I guess I should ask you seasoned sims a few core questions. like...
1) Will these progs run without probs on win vista? Perhaps select compatability mode for win xp?
2) Should I play without mods for awhile?
3) Fast Attack.. how do I set that up?
4) I know that knowing what the keys do is most important in playing the games. Will I have complete keyboard shortcuts listed somewhere in my install documentation? Or can I find that stuff here someplace?
5) Which mods are best for each of the games?
I got an email saying my games have shipped. I can't wait to start a new carreer. Since I'm a trucker though, they probably wont arrive before I ship out again.. dang it. Anyway thanks in advance to you guys.
