Thanks Webster - looking at all the threads, advice, and content, it looks like you (along with several others) are loyally holding up a major part of the foundations of Silent Hunter for a long time. I will try your suggestion which should work. I am too new at this point to be able to tell whether there are other significant losses or conflicts, but am willing to move ahead and see.

Perhaps it would be wiser not to use ISE? I read above that some had used it without issues but would do others' experience show that Real Environment is fully compatible, or more so?

I had also planned, once the three mods MMM, ISE & MaxOptics4 proved ok, to add in RSRDC for stock with your .401 patch for it.

However, any advice - beginning with GFO as the foundation - would be more than welcome: whether or not to use one or another or no environment mod...RSRD for a first campaign in SH4.

Thanks again.
