New Old SH4 Recruit

09-18-20, 11:22 PM

Ahoy!

I used to play SH a lot in the old days,, but have had some health challenges which have essentially reduced me to a Seaman Recruit. I have tried to negotiate the SUBSIM tutorials as best I could to set up SH4 and have had to reinstall more than once. I have followed all the instructions to the letter, AFAIK. I want to just get started with learning how to get from A to B for now with a blank map. I will worry about TDC, AoB targeting solutions, etc. later. If you can help, I would be very grateful. Here is what I am after...
I only have SH4 Steam 1.3.0. with no access to any earlier versions of SH4, AFAICT. I

I only have SH4 Steam 1.3.0. with no access to any earlier versions of SH4, AFAICT.
I also have the present Steam versions of SH3 and SH5, but I believe SH4 is the only one which can put me on an American sub. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I do not want to see any "cheats" on the map, no ships, planes, not even my own submarine. I intend to make all marks and plots manually with the possible exception of a "navigator" mod function.
My focus is ded reckoning, pilotage (when close to land, and CelNav.
I want to pilot my sub just like it was done by the mariners of old. Having said that, I don't mind a mod which gives me a navigator who will keep track of fixes for his skipper, but he needs to be "human" if such a mod exists.
Since I am from the USA for the last sixty-plus years, for now I only want to focus on being in in the US Navy. No offense to any other nationality. I can only think like an American. In the future I would like to expand my experience and join the Kreigsmarine and or the Japanese Imperial Navy, but for now I need to stick with what I know.

I am open to any mega mods, but have no clue to which is best for my intents above. I have tried to explain my intentions, but feel free to ask for any clarification.

Thanks.
