Hi, new guy here. 6 yr in real Navy. Wanted subs but tumor in forehead won't take any pressure past about 12 ft. How do I download a game?

Hi and Welcome Aboard.

You'll have to be more specific. What game are you looking to download?

Wolferz · 02-07-15, 08:18 PM

Welcome to the boat.

Grab an oar.

You download games with a computer.

Welcome :-)

Welcome aboard!

Most suggest getting Silent Hunter 4, Gold from Amazon. That will give you the latest version. The best and latest mods are written for it.

Leave Wolferz's oar alone, you don't know where it's been.

I have the last new guy polishing the prop, I think he needs some help.

Actually We at

on the welcoming committee are sent to charm school at great expen$e. With your depth preventive tumor and Wolferz's(fearless Leader) oar in mind... welcome aboard the BILGE'S NEXT SUBMERSIBLE

Dutch inventor Cornelius Drebbel for King James I in the early 1620's. It is reported that Drebbel had constructed an operational submarine, which had sailed in the Thames , although no drawings exist of his work. http://www.dutchsubmarines.com/specials/special_first_submarine.htm

Welcome to Subsim, riccidp !

Usually you do not download a game here, you buy one somewhere, and here is the place for enhancemants, patches and "corrections" that turn your bought game in a completely new and more realistic experience.

On advice which simulator to get, this is up to you. Contrary to some 20 years ago, there is now quite a bunch to choose from.
There are very few WW1 sims, more WW2 sims, and very few newer (like covering the time of the cold war) sims, that are up-to-date.
Fast Attack is a real good one, but very old and has some problems (crashes now and then), and the only real new one to be played on a good PC would be "Dangerous Waters" (am i right?)
If only someone could make something like "Fast attack" based on modern PC technology, and graphics.

There are also some to be played on a Pad/tablet PC or on a smartphone, but i lack the overview, in this respect.

Have fun, and greetings,
Catfish
