Hiya,
Without mods this sim is lacking
With the wrong mods or sequence installs it's lacking lol
Have a read here for the two guys mod configs, this will give you a very excellent idea of how to keep the mod install order
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ed+mods&page=3
There are several UI mods out there that save you running around like a headless chicken
I have used NewUI's by TDW from day 1 of him releasing them, i have also tried others and used to switch between several (that's just me though)
While you're squinting over that link, it should become apparent that you'll need to dl quite a few mods but it's well worth it
ps : the ui i mentioned gives several options as to your style of ui, so coming say from sh3, you can get right back into your usual feeling of things simply by choosing the sh3 ui
There are other ui's out there i'm not trying to push a certain one down your throat
I suggest you look over those pages, read up on tdw's generic patcher + options viewer
Take time and start afresh in your mind, ctd's just do a post, c++runtime errors well they've been covered and i've added to them recently (hehe)
The ai gunners etc, you need to read up IRAI (another tdw release)
If after the above you need mod advice just ask and plenty will answer i'm sure
But to get the ball rolling
Main gubbins ..........
Dynenv
FX update (special effects and addons too for torp failures etc)
NewUI's teleport to differing positions and command quickly with no hastle
IRAI Get rid of zombie AI period
Open Horizons 2.5 (plus grid request patch) better career from get-go)
Real U-boat performance
RSD
the list goes on and on, also sobers mods steelvikings mods, you really just have to start with a base config to your liking, and if it's realism you want well there's plenty now but some involve editing the Menu but well worth it
You need patience to get this game how you like, can't just fire it up and it's all hunky dory that's for sure
But get an environment mod and ui mod in and take it from there, honest it transforms the game
As i say any probs search or post
