Hi all,
I am new to this amazing sim, I have installed and patched it just yesterday, and actually never started a mission yet, but I have been reading forums and other info for about a week (waiting the game to be delivered...).
I think I'll install the GWX mod even before trying plain SHIII.

I think I am going to try the sim with higher difficulty setting (after I have done some practice with lower difficulty of course).

I am really amazed about the very high quality stuff I found in this forum, especially some recent posts about manual plotting and manual navigation. I think I'll try to stick to these techniques that seem to be very immersive.

I have tried manual navigation with Flight Simulator (no map, dead reckoning, simulated sextant readings, very limited or no radio aids, etc) and that is quite fun, so at lease I know some basic things about navigation.

I would be delighted, as a beginner, to get some advices about achieving as much realism as possible in this sim.

Thanks to all
Cheers
Maraz

Welcome aboard!
Death comes easy in GWX. Do some practice after the academy, read the manual before launching into a career.

Try stock SH3 first with the 1.4 official patch just to get use to how easy it is and when you get bored time to go to warp factor 10 with GWX which will blow you away. And you will be dead very, very soon

and get use to it. Beware of the Black Swan you see them your

and

and so on.

Welcome on board.

Welcome to the Boards.

A bit of advice. Play the Stock SH3 before you install any of the mods.
Look around a bit, get a feel for the controls, dont jump into a U-boat unless you know wat to expect.

But good luck in your hunting.
