New here and with some questions :)

Hey guys,

I've always been a Flight sim guy, with the head up in the skies, but lately I wanted to get my feet wet and looked for some good navy sims (couldn't find any unfortunately), but then I thought I might give a go to submarines. To me they've always been an obscure branch of warfare, which I've never given the rightful attention to, so I'm up for the challenge.

But I must say, I'm overwhelmed, I downloaded the game from Steam, and read the beginner stickies on this forums, still I didn't understand how to install mods. I won't ask which super mod is better, but let's say I want to give GWX a whirl.

What am I supposed to do? As in, do I have to download something else other than the supermod itself?

I apologise if I make stupid questions, but hey, atleast I'm trying!

Happy New Year to everyone (I know it's late, but happy things are always nice)

Basically I just need to download those parts and follow instruction from the manual?

Do I need any other mod prior or after GWX, such as S3C or S3F?

Welcome to SubSim WildBlueYonder.

SH3 Commander is not a mod but a tool you can use to enhance your game. Not necessary but very useful.

Welcome to Subsim.

As suggested, the forums can help you with the mods. Look for JSGME which basically stands for Jonesoft generic mod enabler . Be aware this is for Mods. To install GWX supermods and the like, they have to be directly installed in the game folder itself. With Win 7 and above, don't install into the default path and look for the patch to play the game without the DVD installed. Hope this helps.

GWX works like a charm, I'll keep the game like that until I feel ready to add S3C.

One question though, even if I press Ctrl the movement of the mouse/stadimeter is way too fast and drives me crazy not being able to get the bar on the waterline. Any idea on how to fix it?

I think that's an issue inherent in the program itself as others have complained about that as well. I have seen that too.
