New to SHIII and overwhelmed by the mods

Saint19 · 03-07-10, 12:35 AM

I thought I'd say Hi as well. I literally just purchased SHIII about an hour ago from direct2drive. I look forward to meeting you all. I know absolutely nothing about naval combat having been with flight sims for years....and just returning back to those after about 6 years. I figured I want to try something that is different and will let me command a vessel.

I have SH3 and SH4.
I prefer SH3 to play submarines, more fun.

I started with SH2 and going from SH2 to SH3 was incredible,
because instead of 2D screens I was getting 3D crews around
me, that got frightened and such under attack

I suggest you install SH3 then patch 1.4b
Then GWX and SH3 Commander. It's a must have.
SH3 commander adds crew transfers, you can change the fatigue
model for the GWX 8h one (far better than the base one from
the game) and seasonal waves (bad weather in winter really becomes
bad especially inside the sub when roking around in a type II !)

welcome to the board to all the new cadets!

there are stickied threads which refer to some of your probs with installing on a OS like vista or win7.

Thanx for the welcome. I've downloaded the GWX3 files and the Sub Commander files. Now to go through and get started installing and doing the tutorials. I checked it out just a bit last night. Wow it was pretty neat sitting in the conning tower and being on the ocean. I think this will be much more fun than I realized.

Welcome all newbies!

@Olegreyowl: I posted a link to a thread about dealing with Steam+GWX installs, in response to your question in the SH3 Mods forum... in case you haven't seen it yet or found the thread yourself.
