Default Flyboy turned sub captain

Hello everyone!

Ya, before I discovered Subsim, I'm an all-time flight simmer ranging from military to commercial planes (HAWX, FS2004, F-22 Lightning III, etc).

One day, as I was looking for another good [flight] simulator, I came across "Silent Hunter". Got myself interested in simming submarines, but what surprised me is that I get to run a U-Boat.

For the past 2 weeks, I've been tinkering with Silent Hunter III, the Grey Wolves 3 mod, SH3 Commander and its GWX config file (the reason why I registered here - to download the config file).

After a while, I'm now playing with a slightly modified SH3/GWX game, starting on 1939 with a Type-VIIB U-Boat.

Heh, when I was introduced to SH3, I suddenly realised that there were different types of U-Boats, in a way that there are several subtypes of Boeing 747's in the flight sim world.

And so my journey into the rough sea begins!

Welcome to flight beneath the waves! I too came from that world, fs9, et al. Though I reach back to F15 Strike Eagle II, AND Falcon (not 3.0) in stunning 4 color CGA! :-)

I favored SH4, but that's because of being on the US side and in the Pacific.

Welcome aboard!

Well, comparing a Type IX to a Type II is more like comparing a 747 to a DC-3.

Welcome aboard

My first flight sim was a Link trainer.
