new kaleun to the ranks

Hey all,

Been lurking here for a few weeks, and thought I'd say hello. Got SH3 (and also sh4, though I haven't even touched it yet) about 2.5 weeks ago, and love it!

Aside from saying hello, I just wanted to give a plug to the website...I was actually looking for a naval strategy game centered around the dreadnaught age, and happened to run across subsim...saw the continuing dedication from all of you posting here to a 4-ish year old sub game, and bought it within hours. I haven't been able to put it down since (aside from real life destractions like work, of course, gah! always in the way..) Great game, and great support here. I've rarely had to search long for any answers to questions I may have. Just amazing support and enthusiasm here.

Anyway, after learning the ropes, I moved to GWX over the past weekend. Awesome experience, just from the improved graphics alone. Which leads me to a question: Is there a mod allowing external views of one's own sub but not allowing one to look at other ships? I like the "eye candy" of watching my own ship cut through the water and whatnot, but 1) I'd rather not take the realism hit for allowing it, and more importantly, 2) I can't help but resist the occasional urge to click to see a sighted boat every now and then. I imediately regret the 'cheating,' and would prefer that I simply not be allowed to. Is there anything out there that will allow sub-only views, or do I just need to accept the realism affect and learn some discipline??
