a Whole new way to play

Gentlemen and esteemed Subsimmers,

I Have been a long time PC gamer, I wouldn't play games any other way. and I have always been one for realism. And one of the best ways I have found to make things real is to feel like you are right in the thick of things. thus I have always tried to find ways to add more immersion, one of those ways has been to always use the largest monitor I could find and afford.

Until flat screens I used a 21 inch. and always liked the size of everything, but the other day my wife and I went out and bought a 57 inch big screen and of course I made sure it had the HDMI connections in the back as I have DVI connections on my computer. I then went out and bought a HDMI/DVI cord to connect the two. It then took me 6 hours of trial and error but I was finally able to get full screen 1900x1600 in perfect resolution, my PC is a quad core something or other dual 8800gtx 3 gig of ram gaming machine...

The sight that I beheld was something to talk of for generations never before I had felt so immersed on a submarine (short of standing on the Batfish) My crew were the same size I was, and the powerful ship cutting through the waves... I just can't describe it enough and don't even get me started on being in the control room and walking around in it. Well Gentlemen I'm off to the south pacific, if you never here from me again know I was sunk very happy.

(Edit) And here are the images you asked for, Now keep in mind I'm a cop not a photographer, I took more but they were even more blurry, or had a worse flash in them than these.

External View (kinda blurry)

The Control Room (The Ensign is wearing the new textured uniform I'm releasing soon in a new mod)

Standing on the bridge looking to the Ocean

Flying over Oklahoma City (oops that's Flight Sim X how did that get in there)

SKIPPER!!!AFURRYSEAMONSTERSIGHTED!!!!!
