Welcome aboard S Rafty.

My advise to you is to stick with the stock version of Silent Hunter, upgraded to 1.4 version.

Now, with respect to adding mods, you need the program JSGME and you get that from JSCones website http://www.users.on.net/~jscones/software/

Once you have JSGME installed, look at this page and decide which extra mod your might want to install using JSGME. http://www.subsim.com/subsim_files/patches2005.html

GWX, NYGM are more difficult. SO take my advice and stay with Silent Hunter until you have got a good handle on it.

I also suggest that you obtain SH3Commander version 2.7. You can get that from JSCones' website.

It is a separate installation, but lets you change your U-Boat Number, manage your crew. Follow the instructions on how to use it TO THE LETTER. It also permits you to change your next patrol area.

Another separate program, to get used to using along with your Silent Hunter is SH3Gen. This program will give you intelligence. Follow the instructions on how to install and use it.

I used Silent Hunter along with JSGME to install the mods that I wanted, starting my patrol using SH3 Commander, then once I was out of port, save your game, like giving it a name like "out" without the quotes, then exit the to the game page, now press [Alt] [Tab] to minimize your Silent Hunter screen )you do not lose your game), then use SH3Gen to get your intelligence and generate it. Then go back to your Silent Hunter simply by clicking on it at the bottom of your screen on your task bar. start your game again and go to your saved game, load it, and press the letter K on your keyboard and that will show you what your intelligence is. This feature is simply "dressing to give you a little flavour, you are not required to follow the instructions given in it, but it does put marks on your NAVMAP, however there is no garentee that the ship will be there, the marks are only good for 24 hours, but I don't erase them on my map.

I played right to the end of the war in 1945.

I then installed GWX to the latest version 1.3. However, you MUST have a clean install of Silent Hunter III then install your GWX1.3 inside the Silent Hunter folder.
Program Files/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter/
Then install JSGME, so you can add any mods, but I don't think you will need any as GWX1.3 has all the good mods already in it.

You will really enjoy it.

But as I said, Get your feet wet using Silent Hunter III with some mods added.

HAPPY HUNTING

Rob
