I've been trawling this forum for the past few weeks since discovering SHIII and thought it was time I introduced myself ...
I've been a Flight Simmer for a good many years, more recently making aircraft..as soon as I figure out the inner workings of SH I'll be fiddling with that as well...
I'm using vanilla plus patch plus GW, applied with JSGME...with SHIII Commander and SHIII Gen on the side..and I wouldn't have found all of that without the excellent noob post...thanks for making it easy folks...and hey, picking up the slang as well.
At the moment at Lorient prior to sixth patrol, realism is minimal whilst I figure it all out..
This may be OT but my connection to a Subsim is that my father, uncle and great-uncle were all submariners..the latter during WWI...I spent a lot of time as a kid fiddling with stuff on the boats during official and unofficial 'Family Days'....but I remember more than anything that despite lots of soap my Dad still stank of diesel and mildew.....
