Hello Subsim community! (my first question included)

kraznyi_oktjabr · 03-06-10, 08:01 AM

Hello all!

I decided to combine 'hello post' and my first question to one post to save your time.

I'm 20+ year old simulator fan from Finland. My first subsim was Silent Hunter II and recently I have concentrated to SHIV. I missed SHIII because at the time I didn't have good enough computer to ran it and now its not available anymore.

So looks like its time to move on to SHV but before that I have one important question/request for you. I have eye disease which lowers capability to distinguish colours from each other. For example I have troubles in seeing white from quite light background and black from dark grey backround.

Could someone please provide few screenshots from SHV map - preferably with some lines drawn - so I could see whether or not I can play it?

Thanks in advance!

Btw you can call me Tim. kraznyi_oktjabr is reference to Tom Clancy's book Hunt for Red October.

You should find screenshots of maps in this link :-

The maps are easier to see in SH5, than any previous Silent Hunter games.

Welcome to a great forum, unfortunately I cant supply you with an answer.

Hello and welcome

Here's a quick screenshot I just took, think it's what you're looking for.

edit: hmm, the jpg compression makes it a little less clear than it is in the game. Hold on and I'll upload in a different format.

edit2: here we go, this is more representative: http://i50.tinypic.com/6gad83.png

SHIII is available on steam if you really want it. A modded SHV will probably surpass it though, given time.

Welcome aboard Tim.

(BTW, SHIII with GWX 3.0 is amazing!)

Thank you very much gentlemen!

Looks much better for me than SHIV map.

I'm going to try SHIII + GWX while waiting pay day... then to SHV.

Thanks a lot!

Tim
