Welcome aboard. I recommend you play the game straight out of the box with 1.4 patch. Get a feel for that and then see what you would like to change.

Haukka,

welcome aboard! I'd agree with AVG, but once you're ready, I'd recommend TM, ROW, and the Run Silent Run Deep mod. All three really bring out the best in SH4. There are many other mods that I can't speak to, but regardless, enjoy the game, and welcome to subsim!

I have to agree with this. Run the game for a while with no mods.

Why ? Two reasons, firstly you can see what you do and dont like and want to change, secondly and more importantly you can be sure you have a stable installation so if it starts acting up after a mod install you know what did it.

Best install path is to
1. Defrag your drive
2. Clean the registry
3. Reboot then install the game
4. Reboot again then install the patch 1.4
5. Reboot again and (finally) enjoy the game.
6. Come back to these forums and tell us about your experiences.

Good luck have fun !

Thanks all, and i will post more soon as my sh4 arrives and i get it up and running !

Welcome aboard as well. As was said before, play stock a little to get a feel for it. But when your ready it's an awesome time for mods. Personnaly I use ROW, TM, Run silent run deep, and NSM 4.0 (released just this morning).

Good hunting and if you have any questions, just ask

My advice for your first patrol?

Leave the external camera on and soak up the eye candy

Once you've had your fill you can turn it off.

Welcome and fair winds to you.

Welcome to Subsim. There are a boat load of nutcases around here and DJ is the commander of that boat.

Damn straight, bro! Like they say- Madness is Happiness!

But don't be afraid of me, friend. It's a blast just to be here. Cool folks and a plethora (bet you can't draw that!) of info on SH4. Just ask the brighter folks than me here.
