Hey Ubotatflip! As Aktungbby says: "Welcome to SubSim!" (using different words, of course
)
Secondly, what mods are you running on your Steam SH4? What version of Windows are you using, and is it 64-bit or 32-bit? Where did you install Steam, and where did you install Silent Hunter 4? Do you have a 2nd hard drive or partition available for a 2nd Steam Library folder? Do you "shell-out" to Windows while playing SH4? ie: You see a ship, use the <Windows> to temporarily exit and look it up on the internet, and then go back into the game... ?? Let us know all of those details you can!
