Hey,

Im an old player of Silent Hunter III and ive played a little Dangerous waters and Janes fleet command (if that fits in here).

Recently ive been feeling like playing silent hunter again. I tried to get my old copy of SHIII going but it wouldnt work with my windows 7. Apparently a common issue. No big deal i thought, ill try out SH4 instead.

Ive enjoyed the game so far, i even managed to sink a fleet carrier on my second patrol (got lucky really, a taskforce was heading straight form my position so all i had to do was get myself lined up and wait). Problem is constant air patrols are really annoying me. I know theres already been a lot of debate about this from looking into it so far but personally constant streams of aircraft heading towards me no matter where i am doesnt feel realistic. Im trying to downloads Websters Better Air Patrols but im having problems.

The filefront link doesnt seem to show that mod unless im missing something and subsim will not allow me as i do not have permissions due to not activating my account (which i have done) and other possible reasons like hitting download limits etc.

Can anyone help me out? Is there a problem with my activation that could be sorted or perhaps another mirror.

Anyway, hope i can get back into the game with the help of this mod otherwise im probably going to go back to 3 which is a shame! I just cant take anymore days spent diving to avoid plane after plane.

Also tips for a semi experienced player?

Thanks!
