Thanks for all your help. I managed to re-download the complete set. My files 2 and 4 were short measure. It took two attempts each before I got complete files.

I installed the mod over a fresh install of SHIII & 1.4b. No problems. I've tried it once. It works. I'm not so good, found a convoy and was bounced by a Black Swan. It sunk me.

Two minor questions - unrelated.

1 - when were Black Swan frigates first commissioned? I thought Frigates (as a better corvette) were later in the war. I'm in Sept 1940 and they are as common as fleas!

2 - anybody been got by a 'ghost' destroyer? On at least 6 occasions, I have been attacked by a surface warship but NO sound contact. I can hear the ship running over me and the crew keep telling me 'We're being pinged', but sonar keep reporting 'no sound contact'.

Maybe I'm being picky but I don't like being sunk by a vessel I can't hear or see, especially as it don't give up. It gets me every time. And the depth charge attacks go on for ever.
