Old-timer resurfacing with mod questions!

[badwolf]

Hi old timer,
I'm in the same boat as you.
Getting old, been absent for a while and now relearning the ropes of the game.
I ran GWX3 in the older days. Having a much better pc now, thought I'd give Living Silent Hunter III (LSH3) a try.

.................W O W..........................

It's a really nice mod package.
Good installation info.
Great layout for adding in the upgrades and mods.
Plays like GWX3 on steroids. Very graphically intensive, with lots of new harbour objects.

It uses the H.Sie patch which includes the4GB patch.
Also includes loads of great extra corrections and mods, including the fix for the lazy WO.

You have numerous Gui's to pick from. I selected OLC's widescreen which fills the screen up perfectly on my normally 1680x1050 monitor, without having any stretch or distortion.

I mentioned LSH3 as it answers most of your questions.

Regarding SH5, I just hate the modern/clean look it has with the GUI.
I prefer the old SH3 GUI graphics, you can nearly smell the diesel while looking at it.

Greetings, badwolf!

Thanks for the H.Sie, LSH and OLC recommendations and descriptions. I never expected to see the SH3 modding community still pushing the boundaries, especially after all the great things the modders achieved in the 4-5 years after the game launched.

Really looking forward to trying these mods out... I guess I won't be in a hurry to try SH5 and Wolves of Steel for a long while yet! ha!

The eye candy in LSH is awesome - you will have fun with it.

Your in for some nice suprises if you install LSH.
Won't spoil your fun of finding out, but took me a while to figure how to get out the harbour on the 2nd mission.

With your pc specs, installing the 4-Gig patch is advisable.
