new to sh4 from sh3

[tmdgm]

heh heh, ok i just started a stock campaign. Haven't noticed anything yet. That bad huh?

UBM? Is that the uboat missions? I have the gold edition which includes uboat missions. How do I know if I have 1.5?

On the supermods, where do i find them? I'm guessing you can only use one? Which do you personally like?

Real Fleet boat
Fall of the Rising Sun
Trigger Maru Overhauled

That depends on what you like. RFB is realistic. TMO is difficult.

I personally like TMO. Ducimus and everyone else that contributed has made SH4... for a lack of a better expletive... BLOODY *********G AWESOME!

The Gold Edition (inc. UBM) is patched up to 1.5

Just to have it mentioned in detail; Fall of the rising sun is the middle way between realistic and difficult, I'd say. It's my favourite up to now and the 1.3 version of it is current for english language. (With 1.4 still in the works.)

Don't forget getting JSGME, a small tool that helps you enable/disable any mods before playing. (Also referred to as Generic Mod Enabler.)

Other than that, have a great time discovering which mod you like best

thanks for the info. much appreciated.

but i'm confused on the difference between realistic and difficult. I always thought they were typically one and the same. So is that saying realistic is easier?

i'm typically a realistic person myself. If the crew did it, i want to be able to do it. However I like having the option to bypass some of it since I don't have the time to calculate gyro angles by hand for example

also, looks like there is environment mods. Which one you gusy recommend? I do have an older system however.

amd 64 3500+
geforce 6800gt

Typically not needed if you chose a supermod.
TMO, RFB and FOTRS come with their own environment included.
